Automatic tranny questions...........

I have a '96 9000CS LPT which I'm about to convert to FPT. It's also my first SAAB with an automatic transmission. Until I rip it out and replace it with a 5 speed, I figure I'd try to keep the A/T going for as long as possible.
First question: Does it help the tranny at all if I shift for it rather than let it do all the work (automatically!)?
Second: It seems to find itself in a higher gear than necessary when going around 25-35mph, especially on inclines which causes the engine to "lug". Is this normal with this vintage tranny?
Any input is of couse greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Dave
