I think it's a waste. I contemplated the same thing, however I don't feel that my NG900 (1995) transmission is hard to shift at all, in any temperature, which was the reason Saab gives for converting to the Saab transmission lubricant. While it is a special manual trans. lube, I don't believe it is a synthetic. Some say its just repackaged RedlineMTL.
Consider the fact that you will be VERY likely to develop leaks on an older tranny be switching to this oil, and if you do not have any problems now, you will probably do just fine by changing the dino oil in there every 15K. I use 10w-30 Castrol, which is what came in it from the factory (10w-30 anyway--no idea what the factory brand was).
