I dunno if Luis gave a good description as to which end of the dipstick got chewed up. I'd take it to a Saab repair shop or the dealer & have a
mechinick take a quick courtsey look at the situation. Unless there is a problem with the way the tube the dipstick sits in is attached to the side of the transaxle (and barring any internal pinion bearing problems for which pre 89/90 900 trannys are known for), there is no way the dipstick could contact anything. If all is well and/or easilly corrected, I'd also
drain (and recycle) whatever is in the unit & refill it with Syncro-Shift
which is available at reputable Saab repair facilities for about $14 a qt,
or a simmilar product from Redline which is available at a lot of places
for about half the cost of BG Syncro-Shift (I use Syncro-Shift & like it).
Contact Sweedish Dynamics (203-791-8826) and see what they reccomend.
