Sounds like a bunch of crap indeed! You didn't mention whether or
not your car has a 5-speed or an auto, but I am guessing since you
said it's slipping you've got an auto... A rebuilt Saab tranny
should cost between $1400 and $2200, depending on who you get
it from and how much they mark it up... Labor is between six and
nine hours
