Actually, not just the autos. I have a '89 900S (original owner, and it is a beauty inside, outside and mechanically) with 150k miles and I am on my third 5-speed transmission. Fortunately, SAAB provided the second one for free at 45,000 (it was off warranty, so I do admire SAAB for picking up the tab).
