Just got some bad news re clutch/transmission problems...
I have a 1997 manual transmission 900 SE with 70,000m. I have owned the car for 2.5 years from 37,000m and without any prior warning there was a solid mechanical thump when I depressed the clutch to change from 5th to 4th. The car stalled and on restart it lurched forward even though I put the tranny in neutral. No gears can be selected because it is locked in gear. After having it towed ($100) my local indy took a look and delivered the bad news...new tranny and clutch required...cost $3000+! I cannot believe a car with only 70,000m requires such major work. The car has been regularly maintained since new mostly by main dealers. Anyone else experienced this kind of catastrophic failure? Any advice? This is my first SAAB and will probably be my last.
