Our VIN-specific programming loads the exact software and calibration files GM intended for your vehicle’s configuration. This ensures not just that the transmission shifts, but that it shifts optimally—improving fuel efficiency, reducing wear, and ensuring all electronic systems work in harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take my SAAB to a dealer after installation?
No. This module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. The programming that would normally be done at a dealership is completed before we ship the part to you, making for a true plug-and-play installation.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the SAAB 9-7X, the TCM is located in the engine compartment on the driver’s side and is generally accessible. Installation typically takes under 30 minutes and requires basic hand tools. We always recommend disconnecting the battery before starting the replacement.
Will this fix a P0700 trouble code?
A P0700 code is a general transmission fault code, indicating that the TCM has detected a problem. While a faulty TCM is a very common cause, this code can also be triggered by other issues. However, if you are experiencing shifting problems along with the code, replacing the TCM is the most likely solution.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You will be prompted to enter your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as this is essential for correct programming.
What is a core charge?
