Google Quaker State Gear Lubricant and you will find that they still make an 80W GL5. I think Saab calls for GL4 (these designations refer to additive packages, and GL5 is undesireable in transmissions unless allowed by the mfr, and is mostly intended for differentials). They used to make a 75W called Super Quadrolube, but it is no longer listed. I have a few gallons of this that I no longer use as I switched long ago to Redline MTL, do you want it? Redline MTL meets requirements of 70W, 75W, and 80 (no W), has GL4 additive package, and is the most widely recommended tranny lube for vintage Saabs. Do not confuse Redline MTL with Redline MT90 which is heavier.
Any gear lube with a number higher than 80 in its viscosity designation (ie 75W90, 80W130) is strongly disrecommended in vintage Saab transmissions. GL5 additive packages will probably do no harm, but that's your risk and the possibility exists.
