Automatic transmission does require regular maintenance, the conventional wisdom is having the ATF flushed and ATF filter replaced/cleaned every 30K. Came across an alternative recently that makes a lot of sense. Do a partial ATF drain from the pan every 10K (be sure to use the ATF specified by Saab). This is a partial drain (about 40%) because the ATF in the torque converter and ATF cooler does not get drained. In your case, if the ATF has not been looked after regularly, clean/replace the filter while the pan is off for the governor work; drive the car for a day to mix the new & old ATF, drain the pan and drive/mix for another day and do it yet again. Which should have replaced most of the old ATF.
