Carole, As the others have said, the problem sounds like a clutch actuation problem and not the clutch itself. Look for a trail of brake fluid under the left side front of the car (clutch line/hose leak or slave cylinder leak) If it is near the firewall, it may be a clutch master cylinder. I would bet on the former. Keith Grider "Carole Hackett" <chackettnopsamp.rr.com> wrote in message news:iC0M5.121083$JS3.18646205nopsamoon.nyroc.rr.com... > I have an '87 Saab 900 Turbo.
