Hi Christian, The reason the car grinds when cold is because you need to change the tranny oil to 30 weight instead of Gear oil. The whining noise is very likely the throw out bearing. Not a major problem, but eventually the bearing could come apart. I hope this helps you find and fix your problem. Tony ---------------------------------------------------- Need parts for your Saab?
