It's a 5sp manual which I have driven before the pinion disintegrated. I have changed all bearings, except the upper sprocket one (input shaft?).
One new synchro ring (3rd) and flipping the 3/4 hub other way did eliminate 4->3 gear crunch. New crush spacer and nuts are a must. Reverse gear has worn teeth edges, but I think it's O.K.
As for the first 100 miles, it looks (hears) very very good. At 90mph I can only hear wind noise. No special differential noises either drive or coast.
P.S. I have used the pattern method for determining pinion depth & backlash. And another thing - THERE ARE NO SAAB shops here in Slovenia, heck there are only 15 c900's!!!
