Flushing will most likely only delay the inevitable (if it helps at all). I do not have a Saab with an Automatic, but when my Mitsubishi pickup did the same thing it was new (or rebuilt) tranny time. Cost alot and I searched all over the US for a Mitsubishi Mighty Max trans, used, new or rebuilt. Nothing. Even a Dodge clone D-50 trans was not available used and the Dodge dealer wanted 40% more than the Mits dealer for a new one.
If there are metal particles in the fluid, they are also most likely in the torque converter. The TC must be drilled and tapped and then flushed, or the metal particles will recirculate and damage the new tranny.
Sorry.
