Prior to model year 94, there isn't even a drain or fill plug on the SAAB 9k 5 speed so changing the transmission fluid is impossible unless one taps a hole in the trans housing. On model year 94 and later, there are three plugs on the 5 spped, fill, level and drain. But SAAB did not recommend a synthetic transmission oil until much later, '97 I believe, And it says to not mix synthetic with regular. One is supposed to flush it with synthetic first if he is to change it out. There has been documented cases where the owner put in synthetic transmission oil in early model year 9k 5 speed which resulted in the transmission breaking down.
