hi i have a 91 9000S with 270,000k, mostly highway, original engine, gearbox, clutch i have a slightly noisy 5th gear when the engine is pulling saab shop says replace pinion bearing for 5th (& for 4th) gear but then says 'by the time we do this we may as well replace the gearbox, and the clutch' question: do i just replace the pinion bearings; or re-build the gearbox and do the clutch? thx alex c
