This sometimes happens with Manual Trans; there's suppose to be a fix an all metal linkage replacement for the plastic one. You can also try changing out the trans fluid with the Saab Syn MTF.
Try this website for resolving car problems by downloading a FREE
service manual for your vehicle. This is not an owners manual but a
factory mechcanic's manual.
There is a transmission dip stick on the side of the engine, this is used to check the trans fluid level. The engine oil dipstick has a large diameter plastic cap, and is on the left/driver's side of the car (in North America); the trans dipstick has two notches at the bottom when removed and a label telling the fluid to use.
The best source of info on this car is the "Bentley Bible" aka the Saab 900 Official Service Manual, costs about $40 from Amazon!

ASE Mechanic:
Try checking the fluid level first, and then look for any leaks. if corrected right away you might not have to rebuild the trans. but other wise look into the cost of a rebuilt transmission.
