I had the same problem with 9k 2 years ago. Clutch hydraulics were leaking fluid and taking in air. I bought a replacement clutch master cylinder from local Saab dealer ( easier to fit and bleed, or so I thought ). That didn't cure it so I bought a new clutch kit and slave from Neo Bros (mistake). All seemed OK for a few weeks then syptoms returned. Left car with Saab dealer for repair. Neo Bros had supplied wrong type of slave cyl and the seal against gearbox casing had popped out loosing clutch ;(( -- take off "ospam" to mail me
