Automatic Transmission problem

About 6 months after the SAAB specify transmission fluid change, my 2001 SAAB 95se wagon with 66,363 miles has developed the below problem. Approximately a mile to a mile and half after driving 20-40 mph, the car wouldn't move forward while the engine was running fine. Turned the ignition off for 10 minutes, restarted the car, moved about 100-200 feet, the same symptom happened again. The car was towed to an indy and then to a dealer. Indy found code p0730 but the dealer was not able to duplicate the same. Dealer charged over $100 and said the car was fine after allegedly test drive "10 miles". We picked the car. After a mile of slow driving, the same symptom developed. Without finding out what's the cause of this problem nor had they opened the transmission, the dealer concluded that I need a new transmission. SAAB USA was informed and it was SAAB USA directed me to the dealer. Now they want to close the case, without any assistance.
