I think I am confused... 20W-50 does not sound like a valid rating for gear oil - it sounds like motor oil. The proper rating for gear oil in a Saab should be 75W-90, and the proper rating for motor oil should be 10W-30. I would *think* that 20W motor oil (if that's what you used) would be too thick for the tranny under any circumstances.
I guess my question is: Are you sure you used gear oil and not motor oil?
