Common problem - even on my '01 Viggen though it's usually trying to get the car into 1st that can sometimes (unexpectedly, out of the blue, most likely not repeatable when I got to the dealer for the 10K service) get me when trying to pull away from a dead stop. Shifter will NOT got into 1st with clutch fully depressed, car at a dead stand-still. For me shifting to second and then to first, or allowing the car to roll a couple of inches if not on completely flat ground, fixes it. I've seen posts at least about the 9-3 (non-Viggen) getting a warranty fix that helped but did not completely solve this issue. Because this problem occurs so infrequently, I'm thinking for now that I'm still better off with the Valmet assembled transmission rather than let the dealer do "exploratory surgery". Depends how bad the problem is for you . . . Good luck with the coupe - you'll get it fixed, or just used to the shifter eventually and realize it's the most fun you've ever had driving a car!
