Well I had to ask about the other components just in case! lol

Yeah, I WISH it could all be turning that easily / quietly... and I will be
looking to make sure when the rain stops...

Quote:

If the engine is spinning, transmission is in gear, clutch is supposedly
engaged, but the car is not moving then the clutch disc and trans
mainshaft is not turning.

Are you saying there is no way it's a problem inside the transmission??

Quote:

You might be able to see the trans mainshaft not turning through that
inspection hole at the top of the transmission.

All I could see there is the flywheel spinning, which occupies the whole
hole (hole whole? a-hole? nevermind). I can see that the whole thing (the
whole thing that occupies the whole hole?) is turning... but... how much
space is between that and the trans housing?? I do have a bore scope!
Maybe I can give it a rectal exam (back to first set of parenthesis)...

Yeah I wish.......I think that some of the Saabs allow for a quick and
easy
clutch change.

True, but at the price of a painful changing of things like the
alternator which is tight against the firewall...

Yeah, but the starter is an easy top side job! Well except the hood opens
in the wrong direction...

(For those who don't know, Saab mounted the engines backwards in some
vehicles before GM bought 'em. My classic 900 is built that way. Also
the transmission is integral to the engine and forms the oil pan! )

Yeah, many a new owner whilst attempting to change their own oil wondered,
"why does my Saab have red oil?"!
SAAB???????? How did we get so far off topic?????????? Oh that's right...
CIS... : )

Then they go to add oil, "Uh, where's the oil filler on this thing?"

Ah, naw, my Saab is parked right next to my VW Cabbie! Two
convertibles in a row in the garage...
