Are you at a stand still when your trying reverse? If you're moving at all, it won't go in well, there's no syncro on reverse in these cars. As for a mechanic, check http://www.saabnet.com. There is a directory of Saab Mechanics on there. I would advise going to a Saab specialist, they are very unusual cars. johnw wrote: > I just bought a 1984 900S cheap.
