edit: Sorry its a “2000” Saab 9-3, should be the same as the 2001. Saab 9-3 automatic not shifting into gear or does the shifter feel loose? The rubber grommet inside the shifter cable has probably disintegrated. No need to spend money on a new cable plus the install. Dorman has a kit to repair the grommet. This fits a 2000-2003 saab 9-3 convertible probably fit other years as well.
See my thread over at http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=668146 for instructions. If this helped you out give it a like!

On our 2003 9-3 SE convertible the automatic shift lever is very sloppy, like when moving the PRND321, when you try to go from park to reverse it goes right past reverse to neutral then fiddle with it to get it in reverse. When you go to drive it will land somewhere else like on 3-ya just have to look at indicators to see what it's in. It doesn't move side to side any it's problem is just front to back. You feel notches here and there but not thru each gear as it should. Do you think it's the bushing like yours or something else?
Thanks. Worked perfectly on a 2001 Saab 9-3
Thanks. Where did you find the parts?
