I wouldn't put in a used tranny from the junkyard without having it torn down, inspected, and a new pinion bearing installed. If it's a pre-89, it is probably worth getting the bigger pinion bearing/carrier from Erickssons. Find someone with experience with Saab transmissions and ask what they charge. You can also do the rebuild yourself if you have the time/tools/place.
Whether you rebuild yours, get a tranny from the junkyard, or buy a rebuilt depends on $$$ and time involved for each.
The amount of time/$$$ involved in the R&R, whether you pull the engine or drop the tranny out the bottom, is too large to install a questionable transmission.
