I just put in new bearings into the transmission of my '88 9kT in connection with a clutch job. I find your mechanic's statement irresponsible. The Saab has an interlock shifter mechanism so no two gearsets can normally engaged simultaneously. Since second and third gear are engaged by forks on different shafts the combinetion second and third gears are unlikely. If in fact a simultaneous engagement occured it may be the result of a problem with the shifter mechanism such as a rollpin coming loose. Since your transmission has to come out anyway it takes then about 1/2 hour with common tools except pullers to break down the transmission and the problem could be easily determined. My transmission has about 200k mi and i Believe that Saab manuals about as good or bad as most other transmissions, except that due to little development of the transmission over the years and hp and torque of the engines has significantly increased the transmission may suffer under hard use. Saab manuals have to be shifted slowly and do not take abuse very well.
