They went through many updates but I can't really say that they got any better. They still fail all the way up to 94.
The biggets thing is this freaking stand point from Saab that transmissions are "filled for life". Both manual and auto.
If only the transmission received a new batch of fluid ones in awhile they would last a lot longer, but noooo.
When the car finally left the dealership service attitude at 40-50 K miles the damage was already done even if you started to change the oil after that.
The auto trannies were a little bit too weak for the Saabs (especially the turbo) so they burn the oil easily.
By now you might be lucky to get a 90 and up that has had the tranny replaced recently.
