Tranny update
Stopped by Scanwest this morning to drop off a control arm to have new bushings pressed on, and got to see the transmission dismantled for the rebuild. Rob pointed out what has been replaced and also let me know that though it hadn't yet failed, it was definitely ready to be rebuilt. Reverse gear was pretty much gone. I will be a lot happier traversing remote areas knowing that the tranny won't be a problem.
Ordering a whole pile of parts from eEuroparts today. My credit card will take a while to recover...

i have the same problem with my reverse in my 85 saab, is it really worth it to rebuild the tranny or just to replace it with a new one?
If it's just reverse popping and nothing else, supposedly there's a fix where you flip a plate in the transmission. This link describes the repair.
do you know what the might be making my NOx not pass smog on my saab?
Lots of things will affect emissions. Depending on where you live, what model car, what mods, I can't say. Even if I had all that info I probably couldn't help. A competent shop that knows swedish cars should be able to fix it.
