There are two shafts in the linkage that drive the wipers that are crimp-connected on the ends. The shafts break at the crimps and make the wipers do pretty much exactly what you're describing. You can get a used wiper transmission pretty cheap. Less than $100 probably. Sometimes they come with the motor, but it sounds like your motor is still good and it's not terribly difficult to swap over. My friend Brian and I did it on his 2000 9-5 and the hardest part was getting the wiper arms off. After breaking my gear puller we finally resorted to a reciprocating saw to cut the splines and then hammer them out. After that the job took about 20 minutes.
