Howdy !
I've got an '89 900S that suddenly would not go into 1st & 2nd.
I adjusted the shift rod as per manual instructions and the problem improved somewhat - until I was in rush-hour traffic the next day "Argh !"
Managed to get her into 3rd and limp home.
Attempted the same adjustment w/ No resolution this time.
I took apart the gearshift housing and peered inside, VIOLA !!! I pulled out a torn bushing and a few plastic pieces that appear to belong inside the bushing which goes around the shift actuator rod to prevent lateral movement.
Me thinks this is the cause ? Missing bushing allows the actuator ring to go side to side instead of twisting the rod.
Don't know how it happened.
How easy/hard are these bushings to replace ? source of parts ?
My local Saab Mechanic/Miracle-worker is swamped and can't get to it for a while.
Thanks in advance for your advice/info.
Cheers,
JD
