If it have the original clutch slave cylinder, you may be able to push it nearer the clutch and have the clutch operate sooner. Of course the clutch cover will have to be removed to get to it. If the original clutch slave cylinder has been replaced by the current Saab replacement, that one is self-adjusting, so probably the problem is the master cylinder. The newer slave cylinder has a spring inside a rubber sleeve, that's how you can know. The clutch bearing noise is probably normal. If the slave cylinder need replacement, best to get that done at a Saab shop, as it really requires a special and expensive tool. With experience one can do it with a very large screwdriver, but it's not for the novice. Really one needs the older model of the expensive tool to get the older slave out, and the newer model of the expensive tool to get the newer one in.
