Shift linkeage now adjusted and repaired, Clutch problem resolved. I now have perfect clutch and perfect shift in 1st,2nd,5th and Reverse. STILL NO 3rd or 4th gear.
The rod into the gearbox slides perfectly in and out in the 3rd/4th gear plane, but NO DRIVE in either gear. My SAAB indy (and they are pretty good) are suggesting a shifter problem inside the gear box.
What to do now?
A used gearbox with less than 100K miles on it is $1800 installed.
A factory remanufactured gearbox is $2300 installed.
Either way it's very expensive, and I'm not sure it's good value.
I know I also need an exhaust and motor mounts.
Should I spend all this money on a 1988 9000T with 130K miles on it, or just buy another one? I know I can probably find another one for less than the cost of replacing the gearbox in this one.
Thanks for everyones advise.
CLIFF GROVE.
