I emailed Tim what you said and he comfirmed, numnuts, how could he forget your build, but he still did not say anything about the differences, Tim let me down, I really thought I was first, damit, lol. I basically did the same thing as you last May, just gave them my car and said put the best of everything on it, if the F40 would have been there at the time I would have done that, wish I had waited, then I would not have dealt with them building up my F35 and then now switching it out a year later.

I was reading on some Saab forums a while back that increased mass flywheels help bring some of the gear noise down.
Cmiller, was that flywheel one you sourced on your own, or the ZZP dual mass offering?

From what heard from Tim, this is a very good option.
The couple things I don't like about the 4.45 for a DD standpoint are: it is very noisy and secondly my water temp was alot warmer when I am cruising at 80+mph vs at 60-70mph. The jump is as high as 10 degrees. My rev was nearly 3400 rpm and do that on a long trip. Not a big deal but still.
Someday I will make the switch but not until I am first added more mods.

That would be my guess however I did not have the engine panel on the car on this trip. Would the mid and rear panels resulted in the higher temp?

My 445 trans sounds good . Very little noise. I have a dual mass Flywheel clutch and pressure plate off a buick turbo and its the same as the Saab. Sachs I think. ZZP was not sure about the Buick F40 as an option for the swap. Its new on the parts shelf. Heavy as hell

The new GS mates to an ecotec as well claiming a new low friction gear box. I have been searching for an hour to bare light on the subject. I cannot find any information on the new 2014 6 speed.
It may be an even easier mate than the current f40 and is said to be rated even higher stock.
I wish mine didn't go this month

If the F40 only had a stock LSD lol .... People who got that group buy a while back from FMSR got a killer deal. Here is the one I am eyeballing. Also found a g85 4.05 lsj trans with 40k but for 1500. What a world .
