I've been having a problem with my '97 900 Saab.
Here are the symptoms (and other pertinent info):
(1) There is a fluttering/whirring sound in low gear.*
(2) Car shakes/vibrates when putting into 1st gear after a complete stop.
(3) Car barely makes it up steep hills. RPM's are high and the car moves very slowly uphill. Grinding/whirring sound very noticeable going up hill.
(4) Clutch cable has been replaced 2x in the last two years (last replacement the cable was very, very tight...very little "play").
*The best way to describe the sound is that it sounds like the sound when one puts a playing card in between the spokes of a bicycle wheel.
