As far as I know the ZF auto was basically unchanged in design throughout the production life of the 9k. But it certainly shouldn't fail at 30,000 miles! These things hav a bad reputation but most soldier on for 100K at least.
I can only speak generally as I'm no mechanic, unless you count side-valve Ausin Sevens thirty-five years ago. I should start by having the transmission fluid changed unless this was done very recently - 14F below is cold but not that cold. Next, there are plenty of adjustments that can be made without removing the transmission. You could look at the Townsend pages for help with diagnosis, though if it were me I would find a Saab tech skilled in the black arts of auto transmissions rather than touch it myself. As a last resort, does the guarantee still run on the replacement? Even if it doesn't you could go after the dealer/supplier anyway, for a goodwill payment. Good luck!
