Well, how much of a chance do you want to take and not hold the mechanic liable if the cheaper repair doesn't work?
Your car is sluggish because the transmission goes into limp home mode from the fault codes being triggered and it starts from third gear.
Your two codes are for two different solenoids which are not sold by Saab as separate but comes in the complete valve housing and that part is $1630.00 plus labor.
For both solenoids to be bad at the same time, I don't know. I would probably look closely at the different power and ground signals before condemning it all.
Using his Tech 2 scanner he can activate the SLU solenoid and listen for a click. Or check inside the valve housing that the power is supplied out to the solenoid connector.
All this takes time and in the end, a new valve body might be needed which takes the repair closer to a full rebuild.
