They don't blow when pressure bled unless the seals are way gone.

Clutch has to come out.  Trans stays where it is.

For you and I?  YES!  For the Tech?  No, they have a big lever tool they use
to compress the pressure plate.

Clutch kit (disc, pressure plate, release bearing, and slave cylinder) from
Saab is around $400.  I'm thinking book time to R&R the clutch is 3 hours, but
I could be way off on that.  Real time is an hour or so.
