It is usually a reason why a car is at an auction because it doesn't pass muster on a regular for sale transaction that involves test drives.
The transmission issues could be the reason why it was dumped at the auction but it is hard to tell if it's more.
All depending on how hard it clunks into gear and if motor mounts are ok or not and if the fluid is clean and of right type, it might not be worth for you to keep.
It sounds like you might not be a harden Saab type because it can be quite costly for awhile until you have caught up with what the former owner neglected to do. If $2800.00 is the purchase price you got it pretty cheap to begin with but it is a crap shoot buying at an auction.
Hopefully your Saab mechanic looks over the whole car like I do and give you the heads up what's cooking right now.
If it is too many things right at this point, you know it will be more lurking in the shadows.
