I test drove a 1999 9-3SE with 96K miles. Manual transmission was very smooth shifting in all gears except 2nd to 3rd. There's a slight grinding, similar to the sound as if the clutch wasn't completely disengaged, as it shifts into 3rd gear.
1. What are the possible causes? Is this the first sign of a transmission disintegrating?
2. A dealer's repair shop quoted a transmission replacement using a rebuilt transmission as $2400 parts, $1000 labor. Does this sound reasonable?
