Automatic Transmission Life

I have been on the list for about six months now and truly enjoy all the
postings. Question for you all ~ seems like I have read many times fellow
Saabers having to replace their transmissions between the 60-90K mark. This
concerns me because the 1993 900 S turbo convertible (automatic) I bought
last spring is at 76K. Should I start saving my pennies and anticipate the
need for a tranny rebuild soon? I recall one post stating a rebuild is in
the $3,000 range, is this a realistic amount?

Also can anyone provide an explanation why a Saab trannies go out so early?
Considering a well taken care of Saab can last well over 200K, I'm
surprised the trannies are more steadfast. One of my other vehicles, a
1988 Chevy S-10, just got its original tranny rebuilt after 161K miles (and
only for $950, too)!

I thank you all in advance for any replies :)

Sincerely,
Joy Norton
