I happened to luck out and notice with 2 weeks remaining on warranty that the tranny seal was leaking. So Saab paid to open tranny up to repair seal. I replaced clutch at same time on my dime, even though it showed no sign of wearing out, but then the dealer was unsatisfied with condition of tranny inside. So Saab is also replacing 1st and reverse gears which were apparently worn. Fortunately, this too will be covered by Saab.
So I cannot complain like you since I paid for little of the work myself, but I am now concerned about the quality of the tranny in general. My '99 only has 47k on it, and I haven't pushed mine anywhere near as hard as you have. Seems very premature for transmission problems.
