Well, my guess is that since saab is such a small company, they didn't have the $$$ to invest in making the trannies better, be it the auto or manual. Sure they did upgrade the pinion on the 5 speed but its still weak :o(
I would also guess that the auto's were last on their list of thing to do since most of the older 900's are manuals :o)
2002 is the year they finally added a 5 speed auto to their lineup. I don't like auto's but they claim the 9-5 aero is quicker in auto form then 5 speed!
