I fell for the Saab synthetic man transm oil product bout 10 years ago. I followed the directions on flushing and install the saab synthetic in my 97 9000CS. After bout 500 miles I noticed a definite hesitation and crunch when shifting into 3rd, and 2nd was starting to feel strange. I then switched back to dino motor oil after flushing and transm went back to smooth operation - learned my lesson. There's something about saab synthetic that screams 'better', however not in this case. Saab synthetic, besides the different additives, has very little viscosity.
You can tell whats in the transm by the smell - saab synth smells awful.
The drivers manual says.....
Manual transmission oil:
Engine oil to API Service SF/CC or SF/CD, SAE 10W/30 or 10W/40.
Synthetic oil must not be used.
