I have followed this discussion and it seems that officeboys respons pretty much answer the "shim" deal repair. Which seems to be a quick fix but not really solve the problem.
I have yet to replaced one box myself even though we have a couple of customers that have problems with breaking the control rod.
So far we have told them to try to get it under warranty because of the high labor cost to replace.
As a comparison the NG900 uses the same control rod and it breaks on those cars too. The NG900 also have an updated box where the split happened with a certain VIN in 95. I haven't read about this breakage as much on the NG900 board as I do on the 9-3 board, and it doesn't seem like Saab is offering any free repairs on those models. Maybe because most of them are way out of warranty.
The correct name of the box is "distribution housing"
Up to VIN Y2016481 or Y7005480 they used one partnumber which is P/N 4759726. This partnumber is superseeded to P/N 5330501.
The new partnumber box is installed from Y2016482 and Y7005481. And hopefully it's a better design.
