Am I better off to buy a rebuilt tranny from someone here, or to take it to a local shop and have them do it?

I'm grinding when going into 1st gear, and then into reverse. Syncro?

I've NEVER TOUCHED a tranny before, so I'm not sure I want to start with the one I need to drive on. Maybe buy a decent, used one, and tinker with the other?

Due to the lack of a synchro, you can still get clash shifting into reverse even when everything is adjusted OK if you do not pause a few seconds after pushing in the clutch before selecting reverse. Allows time for the imput shaft to slow down befor engaging the gear.

The Saab's I've been driving since I was 16 ALWAYS needed to be put into 1st gear before you go to reverse, and you need to put them into reverse to get the key out. so I'm VERY good at that practice. I'll try and adjust the clutch cable first..we'll see were that takes me.
