It is a Saab/Opel-tranny. You get it on the 9-3 and Vectra with 1.9 diesel and the 2.8 turbo. I believe that is has been available for those since 2004.AsAkAs said:I read on the BLS website that the BLS will be getting a Six Speed Auto with Paddle Shifting? What transaxle is this? I didn't think we had any FWD 6speed trannys? Something new?
