Saab-900.com is a good place to start for tech stuff on the old 900: http://www.saabnet.com/techhelp/ In this case, there's a link to thesaabsite: http://www.thesaabsite.com/900old/900&79to94faqs.htm ...where you can find a section on the clutch, including details on how to bleed it, and how to swap it. And there's also a link to a detailed description from a guy who replaced his 900 clutch with a 9000 clutch, which has good photos of the removal process: http://www.twinsaabs.com/clutchjob/clutchjob.html Looks to me like a combination of the last two sites would tell you most everything you need to know.
