I was driving my Saab 900-s (non-turbo) today and was about to shift into thirdbut by the time i got it into nuetral i heard something pop and saw a piece fall out behind me. The clutch now doesnt go in but the pedal touches the floor easily. luckily without it in gear i had enough speed to park her. What part of my clutch could it be?

 

can you put it in gear while its in park? i mean can you shift?
usually peices dont 'fall off the clutch' granted i dont know anything about sabb's but i have some general car knowledge

 

no i couldnt put it in gear only if the car is off, which is how i put it in park, but now it wont come out of it

 

Do you have a cable transmission because my girls cable snapped on hers and it was an easy fix. It could have just been part of that assembly that you saw fall off after it broke. On hers the pedal would push to the floor with no effort and you obviously couldn't shift into gear.

HOw do you put a manual in park?

 

hey man, how would i figure out whether or not its a cable tranny?i don't have the car right now but is there another way to check... i have the parts that fell out.. lol... i went back and got them.

 

follow from your clutch pedal through the fire wall and if you have a cable from there all the way to your tranny then its a cable tranny.

 

thats what im thinking

 

i hate to tell you this but saabs have really weak trannys my friend has a saab turbo pushing 20 psi but he cant figure out how to beef up his tranny!
