F40 6 speed conversion
i dont sell conversion kit, i sell the trans only.. haha.. i tell my customers to go buy the ZZP conv kit.. no need to copy, since ZZP kit is the best..
G6 tans wont work. Ive already checked in to it. Diff bell housing
Again you cant use a g6 tranny, different bell housing for a v6. Different gear ratios that are not good for performance, and a shitty final drive. All wrong. Why do you think there like 400 bucks and the good years 07-09 are 1000+.
Because this is the list on your website, The only trannys people want are the 07+ saab f40, once the regal came out they changed the internal ratios again back to the pre 07 models. 4th gear is already an overdrive.
direct from salvage yards here in US/Canada and also in Sweden & Germany.. many of the euro salvage yards sell trans a lot cheaper compared to US market.. sprechen Deutsch?
But some of the units come from the 12 Opel Astra GTC/OPC & 10 Opel Insignia OPC.. yes the GR are slightly different but found a place in UK that bought a ton of brand new spare parts from SAAB - so sourcing parts isn't hard now.. before I had to buy parts in pieces and salvage them together..

Not one single place in the states has new F40 9-3 parts for SAAB trans, only one place in the UK and one in Germany.. so it took me 3 weeks to finally find a place that still has brand new SAAB parts..
Thank god - I still remember how to sprechen Deutsch!!!

In my opinion, this is an awesome upgrade especially for high HP motors, I just got mine done last week, I got my driveablitly back, the shifting is so much smoother. From what I remember, Matt at ZZP launched around 700hp and broke the engine mounts, so as far as this transmission being able to hold up, there should be no worries there. To me, this gave me my car back, so much more fun to drive and will be taking out to the road coarse this summer to put it to the test.
Do you have the dual mass or Fidanza flywheel in your new setup? I've got the Fidanza in the F35 of mine right now, and have to keep it above around 2,000 RPM when cruising at part throttle or it gets cranky, like I'm bogging it. I'm guessing it's maybe too light...? Anyway, it's made me reassess a lightweight flywheel on the F40.
Did ZZP say anything about doing anything in particular to the F40s, or do they simply find one and slap it on or ship it with the kit?
That sound fantastic. What specifically improved with the driveability though?
