I had an 83 900T and 87 900S, both 5 speeds. Their is a hydraulic line that runs from your master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder. That line may be leaking. The line on my 83 900t went one day at a stop light. The clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come back. The line had ruptured. I have an 87 9000S. The 9000 5 spd models have the same line too. Ken Washington 87 9000S 87 900S 83 900T Carole Hackett wrote: > I have an '87 Saab 900 Turbo.
