I own both, a 92 900S with 173,000 on the original 5 Speed and a 97 9000 CS 5 Speed with 49,000. The 900 was/is forgiving with your shifting, but I think the 9000 has stiffer feel needs a much more deliberate touch or you can hang up between gears or hear a grind on occasion.
I'm going to replace the motor mounts in the new car, there are tears in the upper mount and god knows what and ain't telling down below. That, and an adjustment to the linkage may solve what I note as stiffness.
I'm not all that familiar with the 9000, but if mine is like the rest, maybe the repairs are due to driver error (and a more powerful car) and not the basic design. Others may know. If you get a 9000 you will love it, its so much smoother and quieter than the classic 900.
