Waiting to hear back from these idiots that did this.. OMG, what a nightmare! I'll never begrudge Valvoline the (imho ridiculous) $37 they charge to change my oil again. That said, the transmission shouldn't cost that much to rebuild. I don't know where you live, but you should shop around and check with independent Saab specialists. I had to get my 1990 900S transmission rebuilt last year and I was able to get it done for about $1800 IIRC. If you happen to live near Boston, try Automotion in Billerica. Leigh
