Well, I just bought a '91 9000T 5-spd with 138,000 miles. Coming from a Nissan Sentra SE-R, I'm a little disappointed in the shifting characteristics of the Saab. The SE-R allowed for fact quick-shifts with it narrow ratio tranny. While I'm just getting used to shifting in the 9000T, I notice that I have to shift much slower (much, much slower).... or else... crash! The gearbox does like to shift into 2nd or 3rd at higher RPM's!!! I hate it! I just pumped $5000 into the thing and it now needs a tranny rebuild! I guess I'm going to have to drive normal (slow) until I graduate college. What's the fun in owning this thing if you can't enjoy it?
