900SE Turbo Clutch

I could really use some expert opinion here. My wife was driving her
1997 900SE Turbo when she felt a clunk in the shifter handle...then
within a few minutes the clutch seemed to fail. The only gear that
would work was reverse...but 1-5 was out. She got a shove to the side
of the street...downtown Seattle...then realized that she was in the
way of a delivery access, put it in reverse and was able to back up.
So...AAA towtruck to a SAAB mechanic, driver said it was likely the
clutch cable...SAAB mechanic looked at it and told her that the clutch
cable (I was under the impression that it was a hydro clutch-guess
not) had stretched out and needed to be replaced. She left it there
and the next morning I spoke with the guy...he said that he replaced
the cable...but the car would not go. He put it up off of the floor
and then tried it...and the wheels worked...all gears worked...but on
the ground it would not move. He said that the clutch had 40-50% left
on it, and also had burns on it... but he could not figure out what
was wrong. He put in a new clutch and it worked fine.
Can anybody suggest how this is possible? Or...did I get jobbed?
