did you happen to buy that in canberra ?

I've had a similar problem, and it was the rubber bushings in the shifter link; as some particular ones age they get sloppy and 5th gear seems to be the one that suffers. Others will age and disintegrate, then you won't be able to shift at all. If all the other gears are fine (no grinding, judder, popping out of gear or other untoward behaviour) I'd look to these rubber bushings, and replace them all while you're at it. They're replaceable at much less cost than a tranny rebuild, and are most likely that cause, i.e. after rebuilding tranny, you still won't get into 5th because the shifter won't have been rebuilt, just the contents of the gear box!

Check the "Bentley Bible" aka the Saab 900 Official Service Manual, costs about $40 from Amazon, for info, it's an invaluable resource!

Get the appropriate manual for your car and enjoy the Saab!

If the screen is part of the car equipment then a dealer will be able to get the part for you Go on line to the maker of the car and check out customer service for where you can get parts.

I am not sure what all you have tried. I would continue to bleed the brakes starting at the left front and working around the car clockwise. when you change the slave it will take many many many times of doing this to bleed all the air out.

Under the seat there is supposed to be a cable that runs from one side to the other. It releases the other side to move. It is come off or broken.

replace the battery cables they are corroded inside the plastic where you can not see.

Internal short in the coil. Replace it.

The solenoid of the starter might overheat because of the turbo it and make the contacts inside it bad - try to jump them and see what happens. Also check the contacts to the ECM and the engine temperature sensor.

You could try tapping the starter and/or having it checked by a mechanic. If the vehicle is starting once in a while, have a mechanic check the Crank Shaft Position Sensor located on the Intake Manifold under an aluminum bracket. The wire to the sensor leads towards the throttle body. the connector at the throttle body is blue. This sensor is notorious for giving out gradually. If this is the problem, seriously replace it as the vehicle could die when driving (i've heard, but don't quote me on that). I owned a 2001 9-3 turbo and the same thing would happen until it no longer cranked. I replaced it when i researched the issue on the internet. The car turned on as soon as i replaced it 8) and did not have the same problem again.

Good luck!

Disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes should clear the check engine light if the problem that tripped it was corrected.You may need to reset your alarm after disconnection your battery and you definitely will need your radio code if it's the original Saab radio.

You check the fuel pump cut-off relay?
