Subject: Re: Pressing Clutch - Gear Stick Jerks


Took the car down to the Saab dealership because things were getting much worse. By yesterday evening the whole car was jerking! Turns out 2 of the screws bolting the engine to the car body had snapped and the whole engine was see-sawing around. How disconcerting is that! Damage 120 EURO. Thanks for all your comments. -- Shuaib shuaib_rabbaninopsamail.com (Shuaib Rabbani) wrote in message news:<82e6cddf.0308101219.62536042nopsaming.google.com>... > The model is a 9-3 convertible 2.0l 1997.
