I have a '74 sonett with 39k and the prior owner had the trans rebuilt at 38K. I sold Saab V4s when they were new and the life of the trans varied dramatically from car to car. Some would get 125k while others had gear noises at 30K. How hard the car was driven seemed to affect trans life, as well as timely oil changes. A lot of cars got serviced at non Saab dealers and got the American 90W gear oil which will not splash up to the upper shafts and bearings. We even had the theory that different people at the factory did different quality assembly work on the transmissions. Freewheeling should not affect the lubrication of the trans, if the car is moving the gears are splashing the oil.
