Subject: 9000 turbo questions


Just looked at a used 1989 9000 turbo today. 136k miles, good body, strong engine. One of the things I noticed was that the shifter (manual) seemed to jump and dance alot under engine load. I don't mean to say it was hard to shift, but after it was in gear, if you left your hand on it and got into the gas, it would move forwards and back. Is this normal? Does it signify expensive repairs in the near future? Also, the clutch pedal was very stiff - hard to push in. Clutch seemed OK and didn't slip, but pedal action was definitely on the stiff side - could be a real drag in traffic. Finally, the brake pedal didn't travel very far. Brakes worked fine, but it seemed like the pedal only moved an inch or two max. Again, is this normal for this car or more repairs waiting in the wings? I really like this car and the price is fair, but I don't want any major repairs bills to ruin the deal. Oh, BTW, any particular quirks to look for in this model? Any years to stay away from?
