A reserve pilot I met once, also a Saab fan, told me a story about buying his first saab, a model 96, in Germany. Extolling all it's charms, the car giving all it had on the autobahn every day, and only complaint was poor shifting into 2nd gear since buying it from elderly german lady. Well, after two years of ownership he belatedly figured out why.... The owner's manual recommended checking trans fluid level for his symptoms, and when he did he saw sunshine coming up through the case at him! Somewhere, probably before he even bought the car, the plug had fallen or been left out and he drove it all that time on nuthin'. Gulp.
I don't think the C900 trans is nearly that tough, but still funny.
