I'd say go used, especially if one of the used boxes has pretty low mileage and you're doing the work yourself. If the car was wrecked, you the trans was at least working well enough to get it moving! Most yards will warrant it, though you're of course still out labor. Consider at least a new OEM slave cylinder, and maybe a clutch kit depending on wear.
Taking one apart does require some specially tools, and does seem a bit tricky. Most rebuilders aren't familiar with this trans (hence why Erikson is so popular). Unfortunately, none of the newer Saab boxes will substitute in, which is a shame as they're really good, and honestly the trans isn't the best feature of the 9k.
Do make sure that it's not just something with the shifter or coupler and that the shift rod is working the transmission as it should.
Best,
Craig
