My 2003 arc 93 is impossible to shift into 2 and 3, without grinding and numerous ominous sounds, worse when cold. This happens at all rpm's.
The dealer says this is "normal". What they mean is that they have not yet gotten the go ahead from Saab to replace all the synchros on these transmissions. It is inevitable that this will have to happen, if the company wants to stay viable. The only thing that could save them, is if most of the cars came as automatics. This is my fourth Saab, and will be my last if they don't replace the synchros.
Keep bringing it in, and they will eventually have to listen. My next visit will be with the service rep.
Jeff
