up to the slave cylinder with a tranmission removal.
First, check the clutch return spring is not broken. A quick look at the clutch pedal and assembly should tell you that. Also check the integrity of the pedal and support while you're at it, make sure the metals are not bent or broken due to metal fatique.
Then check if you leave a puddle under your car or/and the hydraulic fluid level is not low. The hydraulic line may have a slow leak. There is a rubber hose section in the clutch line and it may have a slow leak. If you don't see any leak of hydraulic fluid then read on.
You may have a leaky master cyliner, the little round cylinder thing right at the clutch pedal. There is a repair kit for this thing, you can get it at your dealer or some of Saabnet's sponsors. The kit is relatively inexpensive. But you need to bleed the system after you have done that and you need some special tool. Words have it that even if it is the master cylinder, your slave cylinder maybe on it's way out. If replacing the master cylinder gives you relief, be prepare that your slave may go out in the (near??) future.
The biggie is your slave cylinder, if this is the problem, you may just as well change everything that can be changed while you're at it, provided you want to keep your car for a few more months/years. Things you may consider doing other than the slave cylinder is the clutch disc, pressure plate (?), throw out bearing (?), rear seal, anything I miss people ?
If you are like me, just a theoretician (i.e. arm chair mechanic, except for electricals), then find a good Saab independent and have the work done there.
Good luck.
