The new linkage has a much more sophisticated design. The tilting movement
is performed by a separate set of levers, while the base remains centered
on the transmission rod and attached to the engine on another end.

A gearshift linkage upgrade on the 1996 Saab 900. The old linkage is replaced
with a newer design, offering superior shifting feel and curing the difficulty
of engaging certain gears. The updated linkage is found on 1997-1998 900 and
1999-2002 9-3, Saab part #4626321. Should you come across this part on
eBay or a local scrap yard, don't pass the opportunity, it's a worthwhile
upgrade.
To remove the linkage, do not forget to lock the transmission in fourth gear.
For more information, see the
shifter alignment
procedure and the
old linkage
removal instructions. The only difference from the above procedures is
that you need to raise the front end of the car.
Tools:
- 16 mm wrench;
- 13 mm socket;
- Torx T40 socket;
- long socket extension;
- ratchet handle;
