DickT & Nameless9K:
Thanks MUCH for all of the input.
I found that I had Redline in the gearbox after looking over the records from the PO - It was not there for that long tho.
I suctioned out & refilled with 10W/30. Drove for a day - then sucked that out and refilled with 10W/30... drove for a day, cucked out... tc etc repeat three times - then the final fill was done with *10W/40*.. It shifts much better, altough I still need to hold the shifter back - it's more of a hold than a pull... I'll live with that - I get thru second then to third pretty quickly now.
Also I jammed a stick into the gap where the front motor mount is - that worked for a few days until the wood crumbled away. The lower motor mounts are TOAST!
Once I get some time I'll fix it mo' betta and just live with it for now. It's really just a spare car (but it's STILL a Saab) but it serves well as a fun-to-drive 'pickup truck' when I need to haul stuff. It only cost me $500 total so no complaints!
I think the combi of the proper tranny oil, solid mounts, and a little tweaking with the gear shift pinch-bolt coller should make it liveable.
Thanks as always to the collective for the wisdom!
