It's basically a front-drive version of the same 3-speed Borg-Warner automatic found in Studebakers and Ramblers during the 1950s and 1960s. The Borg-Warner 3-speed was also used in Volvos, Jaguars, Datsuns, and some other imports through the 1970s. I believe the C900 was the last automotive application for these trannies.
Saab apparently just wasn't very serious about catering to the clutchless crowd with the old 900...
