I wonder if he means "goosed" ... A popular slang term for feckened :) I'm not certain of the precise mechanics, when gearboxes become, erm, goosed, the gears do not catch. This is not like a failed clutch - more like when the gear is engaged and any power is put behind it, it simply slips out of gear. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the mechanics of why that happens? Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
