When shifting to reverse always engage another gear first. Reverse does not have a sychronizer, thus the gears must not be spinning when you engage the gear. Clutch in, wait 4-5 seconds, go into 3rd and back into reverse. If it grinds, crunches, or clunks, work on your technique until it doesn't. Find a mechanic with verifiable knowledge of Saabs - lots of EGO in the auto mech business, ala : " I can fix anything" Post here with a question " Recommend shop in Chicago?" I grew up in Indianapolis and some conscientious shops had an assistant tech trained to put car up on lift and inspect and repair damage to the undercoating. My last road trip was an '84 900S non-stop from Phoenix to Portland,OR, it turned 275K on the trip, and averaged 28 MPG & 64 MPH. Well maintained they will go 3-400K easily. I'd rather have a 200K Saab than most other cars on the road.
