To change fluid and check filter you need to remove filter cover plate underneath tranny. It is round cover with 3 10mm hex bolts and has a magnet inside it so don't loose magnet in catch pan.
Once fluid drains out you can pull round plastic mesh filter element out with a pair of pliers and check it for cleanliness.
Cover has o-ring as does filter element both are reuseable but if you feel like using new ones get a filter kit from Saab dealer for Saab 9000 w/AT or order kit from IAP or from
