If you are accelerating in second gear and it seams as though the power is not getting to the ground, you may need a new clutch, check with your mechanic. This will only get worse and you will notice it in other gears as well. Check with a Saab club to find a good mechanic in your area if you don't already have one. Saabs aren't typical cars and a good mechanic is important. if the gear selector slips out, it's probably the gear frame where your gear selector is. if you have an automatic tranmission or you mean like "slipping in the snow", i don't know. sorry...

What is wrong when the gears start slipping when you push down to far on the gas pedal?

Depends on the type of transmission you have. If it's an automatic, check the transmission fluid with the vehicle running to make sure it isn't low. If it's not and the transmission slips you've probably got an internal problem inside the transmission. If it's a manual transmission it could be the hydraulic fluid is low if you have a hydraulic clutch, or it could be the clutch itself. If you've got an older clutch that's not hydraulic, it could be out of adjustment, or the clutch itself is bad.
