Subject: Re: Gear shift on 1993 900


I had a 85 900S that did that from day one. And only between first and second. I put over 200,000 miles on it before I traded it for a new one in 94. No problems with the trans. The car had a 2.0 ltr / 5 speed. Non Turbo. Look to replace the clutch at about 125,000. Just my opinion.
