I believe the change over was in 1991 and not 1990. You can move the trannies backwards in time, but not forwrd. The older trannies that bolt to 2.0 do not have bolt holes to bolt to the 2.3. However, because Saab made both 2.0 and 2.3 in and after 1991, there are bolt holes for 2.0 and 2.3.
This is all hearsay from a very knowledgable Saab repairman at Sweeney Saab I spoke to. I am going off of 5spd trannies, but there is no reason to think it would be different with autos. The big thing is not putting a nonturbo auto in a turbo car. 3 plate clutches opposed to 6 plate clutches. However, all 5spds are full strength.
