The problems don't appear to be with the clutch but with a pretty poorly engineered gearbox. Mine was notchy and clunky from the day I bought it with less than 50k. It crunches into 2nd, 3rd and fourth when it's warm and cool or cold weather makes matters much worse. Good luck shifting into 1st from just about any speed except stopped...and even then. Too good a car to have such a lousy box. This is one of the areas where the Chevy part of Saab really shows on a 9-3, grrrrr!
