A knowledgeable Saab tech can change the trans fluid and inspect for crud in the oil - gear teeth, synchro 'brass', and most important the 'flakes' of the hardened surface in the bearings that indicates near to bearing howl. And yes in my experience the turbo cars go thru trans much faster for the reasons you state. My sort of rule of thumb for the '85-'86-'87 c900 trans is 140-160 K for a turbo and 200-220K for an NA when they are well cared for and driven with respect. At the same time I've seen the same trans go 250+ in a one -owner turbo, and less than 100K in a family hauler NA that was very abused without being driven 'hard'.
