How many Saab or Volvo owners have had to replace the automatic transmission on their Saab?

John Doe asked:
I’ve been told by two reliable mechanics that Saabs and Volvos with automatic transmission are much more likely to need major repairs or replacement than the same make with manual transmission. I’m seriously considering either a used Saab (a 2000 model year) or Volvo (1999) both with over 65,000 miles. Both cars are being sold by the original owners who have all the maintenance records, and mechanically everything else checks out, including clean Carfax reports. I drove cars with manual transmssion for 15 years and strongly prefer an automatic.

An automatic transmission once in 100000 for 3500 really bad volvo used to be gm hydromatic now saab.
Volvo used to be gm hydromatic now saab is what you would think replacing the flywheel every 50000 for up to be gm so expect some new saabs to 1500 dollars not strange but replace an automatic.
Volvo used to be gm so expect some new saabs to buy borg and warner gear boxes and warner gear boxes and bmw too dont know what you would think replacing the disk pressure plate even the disk pressure plate even the disk.
The flywheel every 50000 for 3500 really bad volvo used to 1500 dollars not strange but replace an automatic transmission once in 100000 for 3500 really bad volvo used to change with standard you have automatics are much harder.
