Indeed. Personally, I've only lost one tranny on a Saab, and it was an '87 SPG with 170,000 miles and I bought my '86 900S at 170k with a dead auto tranny, but the point is it made it to 170k... :) So, if anything, I'd say from experience that 170k is when you need to look out. :D
All in all, there are simply way too many factors to come up with a number to tell you when a tranny is going to die.... I would expect (75%?) to die at or before 150k, and the remaining 25% to die before 200k. I've never heard of a c900 tranny making it past 200k on the original transmission, but I'll bet somewhere there is a 1983 8v non-turbo used exclusively for cross-country trips that's done it.
