Hi, I am new to this forum and I can really use any thoughts or suggestions. I own a 1997 Saab 900SE turbo..automatic. The car needed an engine replacement a couple of years ago. I had this done at the dealer. They replaced the engine and the turbo with a used one. It was never done correctly and I have not driven the car much since then at all. I also replaced the transmission rang switch. Now, when you put the car in drive, it takes several seconds to engage into drive and even though it will go, It sounds and feels like it is all bound up..like the brakes are being applied when they are not. I also just learned that the shifter is slipped and nothing runs in its proper gear alignment on the shifter. The check engine light and the check gearbox light have been on but no actual codes are stored… I am told that it needs an alternator so that the low voltage code can be cleared in order to see if there are other codes related to the transmission. I have put too much money into the car already and if I have to replace the transmission, I do not want to replace the alternator just to find that out. I am also told that if there are no codes, they will need to drop the transmission for an inspection that may or may not tell them anything and ultimately, if all else has been eliminated, I may still be looking to replace the transmission. Given my list of symptoms of what the transmission is doing, does it sound like it could be the range switch again? Or if the gear linkage has slipped, would this cause any of this? Any thoughts? Could it even be the turbo? Does it sound like a definite internal transmission problem? The fluid is up there and all appears good with that. Thank you so much, I just need any information that can help me make determination on what to do. Thanks again

I recently received a 2000 Leganza SX that needed a new engine but everything else was said to be working fine, he replaced the engine but now we cant get the transmission to go into gear? does anybody have any ideas on what the problem could be? any suggestions would be great!
