Well I had it diagnosed by saab mechanic, he found the intermediate shaft 'shattered' . He
recommends replacing the IS and pass side inner driver bearing while he is in there for $1,100 :-(. Part markup is pretty crazy with this volvo dealer, i guess they need to cover overhead, etc.
So my gloom and doom about needing to replace that NLA inner driver and selling it was apparently unnecessary. I guess I'll have him make the repair, drive to SoCal and start looking for a new car there. Its difficult to shop for a car without an drivable car :-).
Strange that this 2nd IS only lasted 19 months, whereas many 9000's go with one IS for life of car, and I'm not an aggressive driver.
