Let me know, I'll take up a few pages for ya. Thanks to you and to Goran for your swift responses. I would be interested to know why Saabs had this freewheeling feature. Was there perhaps a problem with 2-stroke engine braking, for instance? Was the freewheel removed when the engine changed to 4-stroke? Your answer implies that it survived that change for a while.
