This looks interesting. The way I usually change the fluid is: What is the process? May be worth the $$
1. Change filter, replace pan and add the amount just lost by taking pan off (usually 2-3 quarts).
2. Disconnect Transmission cooler lines between cooler and trans on return side, and connect syphon and discharge lines. (I use a closed 5 gallon oil can with tube and screen for syphon, and 5 gallon can for discharge, left open to see.)
3. Start can and let idle, observe the discharged fluid, when it runs clean, shut off car, reconnect lines, restart and top off transmission fluid.
I also then, because it is a fresh total fluid change, change the filter every other fluid change. This saves time and $$
This is a bit wasteful, and you have to monitor/add to the syphon side, but it works, and gets all teh fluid out. I usually start with a Warm car/fluid. This may be a bit easier! Never done one on a Saab, as I've untill now always had 5speeds, but done this on the wife's cars and my Cutlass.
