I'm dealing with the exact same situation. I have an eight valve, 1988 Saab 900 and I found out today that I need anywhere from $1600 to $1800 worth of transmission repairs on a manual trans. I've decided to get it fixed since I've already got about $4500 invested in it at only 109K miles. Of course I hate to have to spend that kind of money on a 10 year old car, but if I bought another used car for $3000 or $4000, I may be faced with the same problem a year on down the road. At least with my car, I know that everything else is in good working order. Good Luck with your decision. georgeknopsamancegroup.com wrote: > I have a 1988 Saab 900s that needs a new transmission.
