Used Saab Transmission Models

Used Saab Transmission

Saab was founded by a team of airplane experts. A lot of them never owned a driving license. The initial models had unusual exterior styling, but top-class aerodynamic design. They slowly evolved to bring all-round capabilities in later models sooner. Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, they sold cars to many parts of the world. Subsequently, the production started in 1947 and they formed a joint venture in 1990 with General Motors. Joined Venture with GM ended in 2000, as GM took controlling interests and later completed ownership of the brand in the United States. Today, a used Saab transmission is a highly sought-after item in used car parts market online. Let's look at the evolution of Saab models and lineups from 1947 from the lens of engines and transmissions in depth.

Saab debuted with the 1947 Ursaab 92001 Prototype, with a 3-speed manual transmission. With 692 cc, it produced 18 hp of horsepower and reached a top speed of 62 mph. The Saab 92 released a couple of years ago, came fitted with a 764 engine pumping out 25 hp of horsepower. The 1958 Monster Prototype used an engine with a capacity of 738 cc. It pumped up to 138 hp and reached top speeds of 122 mph. Later, the 1960 Saab 96 did a 0 to 60 mph in over 25 seconds. Nevertheless, these are cars you won't see on U.S. roads today. They also tried caravan-type vehicles including the 1964 Saab 0 being a classical example.

4-speed Manual Transmission

Saab ventured into the 4-speed manual transmission with their 1965 NF113. Their 841 cc engine came along with a horsepower of 59 hp. It reached a top speed of 93 mph and raced from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in 13.7 seconds. Later, the 1966 Sonett II reached a top speed of 94 mph and did a 0 to 60 in just 12.3 seconds. Then, Saab released their SUV, Saab 95 V4 in 1967. Their 1967 Saab 96 V4 reached a top speed of 92 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph in just 15 seconds.

The sporty 1968 Sonett V4 reached a top speed of 99 mph and did a 0 to 60 in just 12.3 seconds. Later, the 1970 Sonet III reached a top speed of 106 mph, surpassing the 100 mph mark, and did a 0 to 60 in exactly 12 seconds. In 1972 and 1974, Saab experimented with two prototypes 99 Estate and 98 respectively. Henceforth, they came up with the 1974 99 EMS, reaching a top speed of 106 mph and doing a 0 to 60 in just 11.6 seconds.

High power 4-speeds

The 1979 99 EMS reached a top speed of 108 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph in under 13 seconds. It's close to a 2 L engine pumped out 117 hp. Their iconic 1979 96 V4 returning decent specifications gained in popularity. The 1978 900 GL hatchbaWithack kept the 0 to 60 mph in under 15 seconds and a top speed a tad shy of 100 mph.
