I have a 1996 Saab with 120K miles and it is annoyingly difficult to put into
reverse. How easy/expensive is this to fix or is this sign of a terminal
gearbox problem, or clutch?
Please email me with useful suggestions.

If this were a Classic, I would say put in 3rd first then reverse, but
this is an NG model. I assume Saab changed the transmission with the NG
models, but you what assume means. I know your car has a cable activated
clutch, but that is the extent of my experience with the NG manual
transmission.

It need not be the end, the box might just need a bit of adjusting. Best
leave that to your dealer.

Only if you pay me ;-)
