UPGRADE OF '02 5 SPEED AUTO BOX (longish)

Today, here in Portugal, I attended a "Saab Check Point" at my local dealer where two visiting representatives from the factory in Sweden gave my car (MY02 9-5 Aero SW) an inspection.
Having only 7500 kms on the clock the car is perfect as is to be expected except for a little surprise - which may be useful to some of you other Saabers out there.
Saab regularly up-date the configuration of their models via the wonders of modern motronic management. In my case, I needed an upgrade to the auto box.
I complained to one of the technicians that with every passing kilometer the box seemed a little more "lost" - sometimes hesitating at take off, stuttering to a full stop or simply fishing around around a little for the right gear.
"We've heard a lot of this recently...." was his reply and asked my dealer if they were in possession of the new auto box upgrade.
Sure enough they were. The latest upgrade came out at the beginning of May '02 and as my car was delivered in March the upgrade was called for.
Twenty minutes later I had a "new" box. Driving home this evening I can say that "so far" (a safety phrase), the box feels smoother and much more adaptive. Hope this isn't just a feeling but a result.
If your car was manufactured before April, ask your dealer if you need the upgrade.
