Sounds like a good decision. Haven't read your previous posts and don't know the number of miles on the car, but 960's can certainly be expensive to maintain.

None of the problems you mentioned are serious except for the blinking light on the dash/mode selector. This could be anything from a PNP switch going bad to a more serious tranny fault. First, see if you can cure the PNP switch. With the car shut off and in Park, try rowing the shifter back and forth it's complete length from Park to Low for a few minutes. If it is a cranky PNP switch that might restore it's operation and eliminate the blinking light.

If rowing the shifter doesn't cure the blinking light you will need to scan it for tranny codes. Whenever there is an issue with shifting or the tranny itself the blinking light will grace you with its presence....
