nick,
A really good body and interior was always my criteria for deciding whether or not to buy an old 900. Lots of new parts would be icing on the cake. Power plants are all over the place. (I have a background in rebuilding them so that concern was lessened.) If the car is really cheap and has all those new parts then consider that you could buy it, see whether a shift linkage adjustment helps the second gear problem (it might) and if not either part the car or put in a rebuilt or "known good" used transmission. It's popping out of second, off throttle, because it's not going all the way into second in the first place. The "drive torque" holds it but coasting lets it escape. Probably the 1-2 shift fork is shot and failing to move the cuff (slider) all the way, maybe exacerbated by incorrect linkage adjustment. Eventually this situation will damage the gears and synchromesh parts. Sometimes adjusting the linkage so the throw of the shift fork is changed will make it stay in gear. (You would slightly lengthen the shaft assembly.) Good luck.
