second gear syncro. Well it's all nice now. Wasn't when I got the car. I mean I didn't spend THAT much for the car, and knew I'd be having the tranny serviced. I did not know it would come to $1600. It sux. BUT! If I had to do it again, I'd of tried to do it myself. I think I got ripped off, but oh well.
The syncro is VERY weak, SAAB did not design these cars for speed shifting (you could probably destroy it in a day if you really tried), if you want to do that, buy a Honda. They did design it for a smooth "gentlemen's shift" so it's not like it's all bad. Don't get me wrong, you can have fun with these cars, but you have to respect the tranny or it will say "F*** You" and your wallet will be a hurt'n.
Even though I'm sour when it comes to the tranny, I still love my 9kT.
CAVEAT EMPTOR.
