The transmission in my '91 9000T went at 85,000 miles and the car was never abused and serviced regularly. My dealer was very helpful and recommended a rebuilt Erickson unit because as he pointed out, the cost of taking out the old unit,finding the problem, rebuilding and reinstalling would cost as much as a rebuilt unit which does have a warrenty. An Erickson unit was put in with a new clutch for 2,500US. It seems SAAB transmissions are weak as any mechanic will point out. I would go with a rebuilt unit, and I bet the shop will work with you to keep the cost down if you ask nicely, mine did.
