What does the fluid look like on the trans dipstick? Is it dark brown or bright red? What does it smell like- burnt or clean fluid? Any service records showing when if ever the trans has been serviced? If the trans is having difficulty upshifting it sounds like a valve body problem- trans work off of pressure internally and dirty fluid wreaks havoc. If the fluid smells and looks burnt then the trans is probably toasted and needs rebuilt or replaced with a reman unit from Saab which is the way to go but not cheap. Saabs do not have timing belts just chains by the way.
