Additional information on the transmissions for '07 is on:
http://media.gm.com/us/powertrain/en/product_services/2007/07car.htm#ECOTEC20LI4ENGINES
Thanks to GM for providing the info (as compared to virtually nothing on the SAAB website).
The '07 6 speed manual trans is F40 MU9 and is the same as on the '06 and '07 Pontiac G6. Mine is a bit clunky (balky engagement) on the 1>2 shift and to a lessor degree 2>3. This is pronounced when cold (e.g., ambient < 40 deg F) and smooths out a bit when warmed up but not completely.
On the plus side the ratios are right on and it spins up faster than the 5 sp. Shift to 6th around 70mpg and run near 2200 rpm on the hwy.
Also, keep in mind that at least on one parts site the 6 speed goes for about $3700 (!) while the 5 speed is about $1500.
The 6 has some nice attributes but if I had a choice I would prefer the better performing and more solid (and tested) 5 speed (not a choice for '07).
