WOW! A lot of scathing replies for such a simple question!
I NEVER downshift to "power out of a corner". I have only noticed this problem when at times I downshift from about 45 MPH when approching traffic and I know I will pull away at 10-20 MPH or so (it has happened two or three times I have owned the car in 5 years). When I shift into second, I do not release the clutch until I am at 20 MPH or so, also I do not use downshifting use engine braking. I am mearly shifting into second to prepare my start off at a slower speed. As I mentioned I have had multiple Saabs and various other cars where downshifting into a lower gear does not cause grinding (again once in second I do not release the clutch until I slow down).
I am disappointed at the various opinions given, with expletives kindly removed. I seriously doubt that many people care for their Saab as carefully as I do. I was mearly looking for expert advice into what I was concerned may be a malfunctioning syncro, or something else. Please do not comment on my driving technique unless you have experienced it first hand. I was hoping to get advice from other Saab lovers, however, instead I got "scorned".
