I agree with finklejag. You also have to be aware that there were three different types of transmissions that were fitted to the 2.3L 9000 T's. They aren't even compatible with each other. The first was 91-92, revised for 93, and completely changed for 94-98. So I doubt that the tranny from the 9-3 SS would fit w/o serious modifications and money.
the serious issue is that the new engines are transverse, and the transaxle is designed for a left-right mount, where you took a transverse engine from a 9000, and put it in a longintudinal application (the classic 900), therefore you have to use the gearbox Saab designed with the longitudinal engines, which were the gearboxes from 99's and 900's. I've driven on the track with plenty of 4 speeds and 5 speeds, having one more gear isn't that important.
take a look at the quaife web, the offer a version of the F25 gearbox of Saab with 6 speed.
