I think you expect a Saab idles like a Honda ....

or a Toyota. No, an auto 9000 when idling with the transmission on Drive does transmit a fair amount of vibration. If you sit inside a new 9-5 with auto box and you get the same type of vibration through the steering column.
As you said, if you put the transmission in Neutral or Park, the car idles fine. If the car drives fine and smooths out at higher RPM, then you are fine.
My wife's then '92 9000 auto did exactly the same since day one, it now has 123K miles and is still working fine. The 3rd to 4th up (or down) shift maybe a bit jerky as the transmission goes from slip to lock (or vice versa).
Is this your first Saab or your first Saab with an auto box ?
