If the car was a minter, special edition or had some emotional attachment that meant I could not in good conscience scrap it, have the gearbox rebuilt by a pro. That, or replace with a known good manual box. 2. Buy another SAAB of the same vintage and use this one as a supply of spares, parts and what-not for the new one for as and when required, running it as a "trip to the tip car" while 2nd still worked. 3. Simply scrap it after grabbing as much good stuff as I could. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
