NG900 2.3L Manual Front End Shimmy & Tranny Noise [saabnow]

Subject: NG900 2.3L Manual Front End Shimmy & Tranny Noise
=================
I have a '98 Saab 900S 2.3L manual with 105K miles on it. The car has been
well maintained and driven mostly on the highway. In the past 5K miles, I have
had two problems develop.
1) A pronounced front end shimmy/vibration occurs at highway speed and is
especially pronounced during deceleration and acceleration. I have had the
wheels balanced twice but it has not helped. I am preparing to have the wheels
rotated to see if there may be a bent rim, but I have not hit any big bumps or
holes, so I'm not sure there is a problem there.
2) On deceleration with the car in gear, there is a pronounced, rhythmic gear
whine. It is more pronounced in the lower gears but is so loud that it has
been commented on by several passengers. The dealer offered no suggestions
other than an offer to 'break open the transmission' for a minimum charge of
apx. $1,300.
Any suggestions, advice, or insight regarding either of these problems would be
appreciated. Thanks.
Rob Sharp
