Do check the MC as JB ...Getting back to your question about cost of a tranny r&r and how long a tranny can last on a SAAB...well, a rebuilt tranny is going to cost between $900-1500, or get a low-mileage used tranny from a wreck (this is what i did), labor will probably be something like $1500 at a good indy shop or less if you DIY (that is what i did)...As far as how long can a tranny last...the guy who runs the indy shop in my town says a "long time" depending on how you drive and whether you change the tranny fluid (10w-30 wt oil)...he has seen 150K+ miles on a 5-sp...BTW if you get a replacement tranny...get an '89 or newer on account of the design of the pinion bearing...stronger after '88 (i got a '89/'90 replacement)...Been almost 10K miles since i r&r'd and its sweet!
