After rebuilding literally 100's of SAAB transmissions I see no advantage to the 4 speed??? Most Trans failures are a lack of maintenance(Gearbox oil changes) I used to reccomend to my customers to change it every 3rd oil change (comes out to 9000 miles!!)
I agree that they were never designed like a "TRUCK" transmission but...they held up rather well for a lot of folks.
Beleive when I say this...I have ridden with a lot of my customers over the years on "TEST DRIVES"..the way some gutys drive a manual trans!!! It's a wonder that they lasted as long as they did!!
I would use a 5 speed GBOX in anything I drove or Raced.... We have a 5 speed in our dirt stock car....same gearbox for four seasons now....it don't get much worse than that...2nd gear at 7500RPM every Friday night for twenty laps.
