...and by that I mean, sniff...sniff...hey, what's that burning smell?
Truth is, one was never safe in the transmission department with the C900 and its 99 DNA. But that is half the fun of C900 ownership!
After dismal automatic reliability in the 9000, Saab finally got things right in the NG900s (and ever since). They're rock solid, and I offer my current beater, a 96 SE turbo auto with 230,000 on the clock, as evidence. Shifts great! And the fluid looks terrible (neglect).
So be not afraid of the transmissions. You're more worried about the sludge issues and potential bottom end wear in the engines themselves, or V6 timing belt issues, or balance chain sprockets, or head bolts, or oil leaks, etc.
