I don't know where you're based (I'm in the UK), so I'm not sure how helpful this will be; When I bought my 87 900T8, it popped out of third gear. This was due to a chipped tooth on 3rd gear, and it cost me £625 to get the 'box rebuilt by a non- franchised Saab garage. The main dealer quote was £1500 just for a replacement box (the car only cost £2300 !). The rebuilt box has now done 80,000miles with no problems & no signs of wear. I've not heard of Saabs having a common problem with 3rd gear (but I could be wrong), but my guess us that to repair your Saab may well be expensive. If you are UK based & want any more help with this, let me know.
