SAAB 9-5 Aero New clutch install DIY. Part 2

[@karnelofson1278]

Great video, I will be picking up a 01 9-5 tomorrow so I can do a clutch and slave replacement and keep these beautiful Swedish cars on the roads in America.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Awesome! Enjoy your new SAAB 👌🏼

[@andrewtodd6299]

Have watched both videos relating to gearbox/clutch removal and found them very helpful as the clutch on my 1999 Saab 9-5 has just failed. I’m not in the habit of putting my cars into garages as I prefer to carry out the work myself and as you mention, you can catch a lot of other small related jobs whilst carrying out the main task (i.e rust removal, painting, bolts lubrication etc). As I plan to carry out this job myself, I’ll follow your lead and order subframe bushing, my 9-5 is 22 years old so they’re bound to be shot at. Thanks very much for the videos, I found them really really helpful.

[@NewScottishGentry]

thanks Jonas!! my buddy and I never done a clutch on a SAAB before and we managed to get the clutch and subframe bushings done on my ‘01 9-5 Aero done in one (long) day a couple weekends ago! wouldn’t have been able to do it without your video!!

[@JonasKakarikas]

Awesome 👌🇸🇪

[@kpr9559]

Great video, and I love it. Thank you emphasizing how to refit gearbox back alone or with assistants, how to bleed. Very valuable instructions. It look so easy but it is challenging every time. You certainly have done this many time. Cool stuff, Jonas. Good breakdown of work. Tack så mycket igen.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thanks for The kind words Kari 👊🇫🇮

[@dai3764]

The best saab content on youtube! By far!

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thank you very much DAI 👍😉

[@rangersammy]

Your videos, even when not in English have helped my own SAAB story. I'm about to put a stage 3 friction disk in and both parts are very informative. Thank you.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Glad to hear that 👍

[@rangersammy]

​@JonasKakarikas I'm starting my gearbox adventure this week. My 2001 Aero has 250,000 miles on it. E-85 tune and 19T. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@feldma2ns1]

Awesome video. Especially liked your post install commentary. We did the same job on a 9-3. Looks very similar. Machine shop said they could not face off a dual mass flywheel though. Our job went easy on the install though. Must've been lucky. Put guiding pins on the bottom and didn't have to turn the crank. I'm sure there was some violence applied at one time or another none-the-less. Thanks again, enjoying this series of videos quite a bit. Getting inspired to do some mods as I've given the 9-3 to my son and now have a '06 9-5.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Awesome to hear 👍 yes i have been Lucky with The crank in The right position one time also 😁 good that your son also has a Saab Now 👍

[@chisel900]

Such a great video and the technique you used for bleeding the clutch is so useful and one I will be using soon so thank you so much!

[@Soulfirer]

Well done. Shame you could not have lightened that flywheel- you can take a lot off it and makes the engine rev more freely- but yeah, not easy at this time I know....... good job 👍🏻 and congrats on your 5k subscribers. You deserve it.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Thanks! The plans are to build The engine next winter, then i Will definatly go for The flywheel 👍

[@semiconductorsinarabic4090]

I wish you have anything about Auto to Manual transmission swap on a 95. Btw I love the way you film, great angles. Greetings from Upstate NY.

[@wudecki]

Tactical dot for statistics: . Good work mate!

[@adembaba007]

Its almost the same methode sliding cilinder allso the 2 handmade pens for centering .i do it same proses by de scania.s gearbox. Super job j.k

[@Trudo981]

Well done. It encourages me to do more myself on my saab. Tack.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Awesome! 👍 Thats they main point of all this work 😉

[@brookederry9387]

Ooo I have done this. Very heavy job. Good work!

[@JonasKakarikas]

Indeed it is 💪

[@toothrockrattlesnakecreek1728]

Another fine video from you. Thanks for the hints. If the engine were out of the chasis would you join the E/T before or after you install the engine? Your background pictures show painted aluminum. Much better than trying to po;ish the bare metal. Did you use Silver color and was it hi temp? What about the Casis parts?

[@pehrja]

We are at the part of gearbox installation. I was thinking that removing the intermediate driveshaft would make it much easier. Now I see that is what you did. However, when I was checking it out on the car, it looks like the alternator is on the same bracket as the bearing for the intermediate drive shaft. Is that a problem?

[@JonasKakarikas]

Dont remember exactly, think its still hold up by the upper mount

[@christrahi16]

Is the gearbox reinforced in some way, like stronger gears? Or is it just the quaife differential added to it? :)

[@JonasKakarikas]

Stronger 1st, 2nd & 3rd 👍

[@colinsimpson1301]

Great video as always! Now you can skip the gym lol Please where did you get the 4" exhaust tips they looked so nice can't wait to see that video!!! An other workout by you. Great work i am so jealous of your skills

[@jeffnowling569]

Jonas before separating the gearbox, did you also remove the intermediate drive shaft?

[@JonasKakarikas]

I have done both, If you are by your self its easiest to remove 👌

[@connyblomqvist3648]

👍 Sakta men säkert så börjar det ta sig 😀 Snyggt jobbat Jonas !

[@d4ve587]

I think Jonas has the only wife on the planet 🌏 that would try assist with a gearbox installation 😂I bet there was some swearing as she left 👈 😭👌🤣😎💪

[@pollik6604]

Its not even the first time that I assist 😄😅 but I gladly do when he neds my help.. Although he always get it done by himself 🙂👌 #proudwife 😍

[@arso6257]

Great video again, thanks Jonas :)

[@echazfraz]

Hey - awesome and very helpful video. Just changed my 9-5 clutch using some of your tips and I cannot get the pipe back onto the slave cylinder pipe nipple on top of the gearbox. I just cannot get the circlip to go back into the aluminium boss. Everything looks seated correctly - the plastic collar clipped into the gearbox with the notch located, and the boss located into the collar, but the circlip won't go in. Is there a trick to getting this correct?!

[@JonasKakarikas]

Nice 👍 should just be to push it down and insert The circlip. Should just slide in without any problem, then something is not lined up correctly

[@echazfraz]

Thanks for the really quick reply - I guess something is not lined up correctly then - I will try again and post back here to let others know how it worked.

[@echazfraz]

So I opened the inspection hatch and pressed up on the pipe with my hand, then down on the boss, and the slots lined up and I got the clip in - thanks for the encouragement.

[@JonasKakarikas]

Awesome 👌🇸🇪

[@ronopdeweegh5096]

Great job!

[@Turb0peppe]

Man brukar väl skölja lådan med bilen i luften bara ? Bara starta å köra igenom några växlar med hjulen i luften Så gör dom iaf på Maptun i Örebro :) Grymt bra jobbat iaf Jonas !

[@JonasKakarikas]

Känner mig inte så bekväm med att köra igenom några växlar på pallbockarna i mitt garage 😉 misstänker att MapTun har lite andra förutsättningar.

[@johanloof2363]

Går att göra både och, dvs både köra med hjulen i luften och runt kvarteret. 😊

[@adembaba007]

How is the 6-wheel clutchblade wheel on ride? Is it like on/ off?

[@JonasKakarikas]

[@scotkilminster5262]

Help please I have replaces my clutch in my saab 900 n reg on putting the block back on the gear selector 5th gear is now where 3rd gear is and first and second gear are very hard to select them heeeelp

[@JonasKakarikas]

You need to twist the shifter linkage where it attaches to the rod going to the gear selector and you will find the other gears
