Robert,
Their are 3 plugs to be concerned with:
1) A 24 MM hex head plug in the top of the tranny. Pretty much under the power steering fluid res. This plug is for adding oil.
2) An 8 mm socket head (i.e. allen wrench) plug in the side, and towards the rear of the gearbox. This can only be reached by removing the left front tire. This plug sets the fluid level.
3) Another 8mm socket head plug on the side,at the bottom of the gearbox. This is the most difficult one to reach, as it is very close to the frame of the car. I was just able to fit an Allen wrench between the frame and get it into the plug.
My process was:
1) Loosen the top plug first
2) Use a tape measure to measure the distance from the floor to any point on the car body (I used the side marker light)
3) Jack up the car and remove the tire and then the side plug.
4) Remove the bottom plug and drain the oil
5) Clean and replace the drain plug
6) With the tire still off the car carefully lower the jack until the car is in it's normal running position (i.e. match your beginning measurement off the floor)
6) Using a funnel, fill the gearbox through the top plug, until oil comes out the side plug. (note: SAAB recommends using their synthetic oil only)
7) Replace side plug
8) Replace top plug
9) Raise car and replace tire.
Hope that helps...
