Why the head gasket? Water in oil? Oil in water?

First of all, this guy is trying to screw you. Did the service rep explain why this was needed? It is not uncommon for a little seepage to occur here. It should be in the neighborhood of $500, if and only if, it really needs to be replaced.
The leaking seal on the trans output shaft can be replaced when the clutch is replaced along with the throwout bearing, the clutch cable and the rear main seal. I just got a quote for this at $700. My seal has been leaking for 3-1/2 years on and off and I will not replace it until the clutch needs to be replaced. Leak has not gotten worse. I just periodically replace the cardboard on the garage floor. Did your quote include a clutch? It should have included an all expense paid trip to Europe.
You need to find another shop. The quote you got is criminal. Saab needs to get some of these clowns in line, it makes for a bad ownership experience.
