You mean Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget? 850 1993

The automatics were an ancient 3-speed Borg Warner design that was awful. The 5-speed manuals were only "bad" since when they put the 5th gear in the same case as the 4 speed there wasn't a lot of space in there. If they didn't break under normal shifting there were 4 bolts that held the end plate onto the transmission, these would back out over time and you'd lose the oil in the gearbox. (Of course, there's no oil-level warning light for a manual transmission!) Then the gearbox would melt.
