Eric, Does this mean that with gentle movement of the shifter you get a grind? Synchronizers are friction devices that can be worn out by over use. I find many Saab trans that have trouble due to poor shifting technique. There are some problems in shifting that can be improved by a knowledgeable tech adjusting the shifter mechanism. There are several techniques that will improve synchro performance. Matching gear speeds is one and double-clutching is another. Find a knowledgeable tech to check out your trans and your technique. Pushing in the clutch and moving the shifter are just the basics - upshifting and downshifting are skills that can be learned, but you may have a damaged trans.
