I got my 900s in about the same condition that you described, I knew it had a bad pinion bearing, perhaps it was even worse because the tranny would pop out of 3-rd. Anyway, on the day I bought the car I drove it 45 miles to end up about 3/4 of a mile away from my garage (at my apt.) when the tranny jolted and seized...its been described in more colorful terms on this board...Don't count on it lasting too much longer...its time for you to start looking for a '90+ tranny, a Bentley manual, maybe a Haynes, some tools so you can enjoy the SAAB (that is what I did...) ...on the other hand you can also look for a reliable mechanic and get geared up to write a check in the amount of $2500.00 (probably more on an SPG)...Good Luck
