The 1997 900 probably has a cable clutch. You might need to replace the cable. Saab tried the cable clutch for a few years(1996-1997) and dropped it. I did not buy a nice looking 900 because it had the cable clutch. There could be a problem finding the cable in a few years because of the relatively low number of cars made with the cable clutch, unless it is a common GM part.
