Pretty much embarrassed to post this but... I took a look at a 2001 9-3 Convertible yesterday. Awesome car, going to have my dad's Saab indy take a look at it. It was maintained by the dealer that I take my 9000 to (Charles River Saab), so I'm pretty confident that I'll be buying it next week. New DI, exhaust, shocks, brakes, tires, belt and pulleys. The SID is shot, but I think I can get the guy to throw a good one in. Top is in great shape. Interior is so-so, but I can work with it.
My question is...I've never had a 5 speed. What's the deal with the reverse lockout? The shifter needs to be in reverse to get the key out, right? And I need to pull up on the little collar to get it into reverse, right?
I've never had a 5-speed and am terrible driving one, but I want one, so I'll learn. Any tips there?
Thanks!
