'92 Sedan Automatic Transmission Woes

Hello,
2 weeks ago I noticed a subtle thunk while driving my sedan from the stop light.
It has progressively gotten worse to the point that now, I must put it into 1st gear and slowly work up to D from a stop otherwise it makes a thunk, thunk, thunk sound. Once momentum is up however (esp. on Hwy) it runs perfectly. Following much research on this and other sites, I'm leaning toward the diagnosis that my ring and pinion is either lose or teeth broken (unless the inner drives could be failing?).
Local (trusted) Saab shop quoted up to $2500 for a total tranny repair. Can't justify spending that much on a car that cost me $2500 (105,000 miles).
Contemplating buying a local '88 SPG for $1500 with 170,000 miles on it's 5 speed and performing a swap. Is this compatible with my '92 900s 4 door sedan's automatic (i.e. turbo 2.0 vrs. 2.1 engine tranny's)?
Side note, 2 months ago I spent $1300 on a head rebuild and they replaced the tranny fluids (including final drive) while at it. Hope there wasn't any coincidence with the failure.
