Failed clutch hose? These all should have been replaced by Saab under warranty. If the exterior of the hose is not smooth, but waffled, it is a known bad one. Replace with new, bleed and see if it fixes the problem. The issue is that if it has failed, it probably has also filled the slave with muck as well. For anyone with a 9k CS body. Check this and replace. It is much cheaper than replacing the slave when the hose disintegrates from the inside (normal failure mode) and contaminates the slave Good luck.
