I ran amsoil 75-90W synthetic gear oil in my 84 900T for 188K. The OEM trans went at 80K (pinion bearing bracket, no relation to lube issue) and the Saab rebuilt worked even better than the original, smoother shifting and still strong at 188K when car was totaled/rearended by drunk driver.
Yes, the gear oil may be a little stiff for winter (I never found it so...car shifted easily in -40F weather in PA ski country). The key is check/change it as necessary..that's why they put a magnet on the drain plug. If there is stuff on it, keep changing the gear oil every 10-20K until there is not (stuff/swarf/chips) on it. It only took 20K miles to clean out the crap on my new rebuilt trans...the magnet stayed clean and so did the gear oil after that. For 80K miles after the first 20K change.
