Hi, I currently run a SAAB 900i S 1990 5speed (110,000mls) and I'm having difficulty changing gear. I've been told that it could be the gear linkage getting badly worn causing the problem. How big a job is this to replace these parts (it looks like they are within the gearbox housing), can it be done DIY or is it a job for a garage ? I use engine oil in the gearbox as is recommended in the Haynes manual - changed every 3000mls. I don't believe the gearbox is past it yet - no problems with the gears. Any advice would be appreciated, Regards Steve R
