knoxsaab, Pre '90 the manual trannys had a steel tube with a long steel dipstick. In '90 they put a nipple in the hole on the tranny side cover (where the long dipstick used to be) and fitted a short dipstick with a steel clip to secure it. I'll bet that your clip is missing. Apparently those had problems and were superceded by a short dipstick with no nipple or clip. The Saab part numbers for the newer style dipstick and o'ring are 87 29 345 and 81 24 182 respectively. You could also just get an old style dipstick and tube at a salvage yard or maybe from Eriksson Industries. Be sure to put a new o'ring on it if you do that and secure it to the exhaust manifold. Good luck.
