5-speed transmission seizure

The unthinkable happened; the transmission oil was drained by error by a shop during an oil change. The transmission/differential seized after grinding itself for 900 miles with no oil in it! No, it is not by a quick-oil-change place, rather, it is by a reputable Saab indie, who shall remain nameless pending contact with the owner.
The car is an 89 900Turbo with 165K, 5-speed.
The transmission un-seized itself after towing, the car is actually now drivable with a very loud whining in 3,4,5 gears under load. There were considerable amount of shaving's on the magnet (no metal chunks). The tranny oil was changed by me about 10K before, there should not be that much shaving's in just 10K. I have now filled it with 10W30 (and changed the engine oil, 5+ quarts of very dirty oil came out).
Given what had happened, should I put in some heavier transmission oil?
What can be expected of the transmission/differential now?
Thanks in advance
