IT´S A NEW GUY IN TOWN! 😎
This was the news advert from SAAB Gearbox Parts back in the 2019!!! Primaries 8,5 8,8 and 10,0 are available for SAAB 99-900
We are sure that many new SAAB drivers does not know that these parts exists, so therefore we tell the world and the SAAB 99-900 drivers what upgrade this can be for your SAAB once again.
Today there are many primaries going around all over the world. We can also say that they have been working very well with no problem and satisfied customers all over the world.
The interest was so big that we had to do a new batch to satisfy everyone. SEE DOWN BELOW THE INFORMATION OF ALL THREE PRIMARIES. MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT US!
SAAB primary type 10,0 is now ready for delivery.
SAAB Gearbox Parts are now proud to announce our development of the Universe highest primaries for SAAB 99-900 🥳
As you probably already know we have before produced the type 8,5 and 8,8 ( for 4 and 5 speed gearboxes ) that have been sent worldwide and many SAAB owners drive them daily 😎 These are still available to order.
Now is the day to announce the latest new product that we have produced in a limited edition of just ten units ( 4 sets already ordered ).
The new product type 10,0 will complete the series of high ratio primaries 👍 This primary set is based on the upper gear from type 8 original, this means that you who are interested in this primary type first of all want a extreme high ratio with low rpm and also today already have got a type 8 mounted so you can use the upper gear 33 cogs to combine with my type 10,0 primary set. The speed at 1000 rpm on fifth gear will be on gearboxes up to 1988 50,90 km/h and for gearboxes from 89-94 47,97 km/h. The set includes special lower gear 20 cog, distance for upper gear 2,0 mm, extra extra reinforced chains from IWIS, modified tensioner, nut and gasket, a full mounting description with pictures will also follow for safe mounting procedure. This primary needs minor modifications of the box to fit. SEE PICTURES OF THE PRIMARY down below.
SAAB Gearbox Parts proudly presents the new developed type 8,8 SAAB 99-900 primary. This primary is new developed complement to the 8,5 primary and has got similar specifikations like the 8,5 but has got a higher ratio.
Compared vhith the 8,5 it gives the following speeds at 1000 rpm.
8,5 primary will give gearboxes from 77-80 41,0 km/h at 1000 rpm, 81-88 43,5 km/h and 89-94 41,0 km/h.
8,8 primary will give 77-80 44,5 km/h at 1000 rpm, 81-88 47,0 km/h and 89-94 44,5 km/h.
The differences between the model years depends on the final gear that are 9:35 = 3,89:1 77-80, 89-94 type 8,5 2195 rpm in 90 km/h and 9:33 = 3,67:1 81-88 2068 rpm in 90 km/h
9:35 = 3,89:1 77-80, 89-94 type 8,8 2022 rpm in 90 km/h and 9:33 = 3,67:1 81-88 1914 rpm in 90 km/h. All figures depends on wheel size and are aprox.
These primaries are equipped vhith reinforced Iwis chains, modified tensioner and decreases the torque on the gearset that gives a stronger gearbox, the rpm will be very low that gives the owner a feeling of driving a modern car, also the noise will be much lower in the cabin, better comfort. It also increses the axcelleration of the car cause of less shiftings, no problems getting over 100 km/h on second gear. And the best for the enviroment, the fuel consumption can be up to 2 decilitres less per 10 km of driving. The pictures shows both the 8,5 and 8,8 and dismantling 8,5 and mounting 8,8.
