don't know it this helps or hurts... (and i know it's not exactly what you were asking for)

but it sounds like your clutch cable (or possibly even cluth) is nearing the end of it's life. I've recently gotten a new clutch and then cable (in that order) and the differnece is phenomenonal. the new clutch was really key (unfortunatley.) it makes my clutch feel much like a hydraulic one.

also...

sounds like you might be near time for a suspension upgrade... i.e. saab made a change through the production run to hydraulic control arm bushings, and other stuff... just had to have mine upgraded (read:fixed) and i tmakes a big difference, took care of almost all of the suspension creeks and rattles... i found out i needed th suspension upgrade when my car was in for an oil leak (rear main seal, etc $650ish) here's the thing...

i learned that my car needed like almost $2k of service total. and the mid book is like $8.5K. so naturally, my fist thought was, it this worth fixing. (in my case, the suspension was so bad that i'd probably only get like. $6K ish if i tried to sell it unfixed) so i went through the thought process... if i sold this car what could i get...

well i'd have to spend like $7-10 more than i could sell my car for to find a comparable blend of sport and luxury (rulling out NG900's of course) that was at least 2-3 years younger. well i didn't have the $$$ to spend, and i still enjoy driving my car, so i dediced to save my bucks, enjoy my saab for another couple of years, and save up for something truely better...

i considedred lexus (mainly ES300), infinity (mainly i30), acura (mainly 3.2 TL), and even toyota (camary), nissan (maxima) and yes, honda (accord ) ... but i couldn't find a car to meet my luxury needs and still lived up to the sporty handling and performance that i have grown accustomed to.

so i chose to love my car for a while longer
