5 speed "smoothness" versus auto

Just got a '95 CSE 5 speed with 74K and am absolutely amazed at the smooth feel of the car at all speeds. Traded a '96 CS auto with 206K(flywheel ring gear took a ****). Of all the SAABs I've owned (about 8 including a '78 GL, a number of classic 900s, two other 9000 autos and even a '99 9-5) this is by far the smoothest/quitest of them all with the possible exception of the 9-5.
Just wondering if any of you with lots of miles on 9000's, both auto and 5 speed, have noticed this BASIC difference between the two transmissions, regardless of miles, or does it have more to do with just slowly getting accustomed to the aging drivetrain and suspension sounds of the '96, which I drove from 75K to 206K obver 4 1/2 years?
Does the 9000 have a different/better 5 speed transmission than the classic 900s?...which always seemed noisy to me.
