As the other posters have said, coolant in the tranny is issue #1 - do whatever it takes to get it all outa there.
However, don't discount the oil in the coolant either. I had the same problem on an '81 900 I had with an auto trans. Now normally, Saab radiator and heater hoses are bulletproof - they almost never fail. My local dealer even used to sell used ones. On my car due to the oil contamination, all but one of the radiator & heater hoses failed within 6 months of the incident (the oil attacks the rubber).
So make sure you flush the cooling system well also, and might want to think about replacing the hoses.
