IMHO your mechanic is right, others can correct me but there is a larger bearing in 89 onwards which may help a litle in reliability. A rebuilt genuine Saab transmission costs $1900-2000 (without fitting). There is a company called Erikson that also does a good rebuild for a few hundred dollars less but unless you live close to the East Coast the shipping gets you ($400 to CA). Once you get the in there with the transmission removed. engine mounts, rear hoses are usually need replacing so you can quite easily face a bill of $3000-$3500 if done by your mechanic. You are faced with the difficult decision of whether to spend more money than your car is worth unless you decide to DIY/get used gearbox route or start again. Yes you can put in a 5 speed but again if your mechanic does it it will cost the same. Yes you can try and rebuild yours but it is notoriously difficult.
