What do you think, :>how much time do they spend on replacing clutch and probably slave-cylinder? :>A quick answer would help me saving a bit money :-)) :> Quick .... My SAAB does have the same symptom: Slave clutch cylinder leaking. The Garage said it would be 6 hours work. I know the guy, he takes the thing apart and tells you: I have to replace this and that.... Cheapest repair: 6 hours work + clutch + slave cylinder rubber If you want to drive for a lot of miles/km: Replace the Cylinder completely (Dutch price: about fl 400,-/$200,- ex VAT) ! Why: The rubber doesn't go by itself .... Why so much labor: - Engine must be stabilized with a special "bridge" - Gearbox must be removed from bottom side - And rebuild the stuff. :>Thanx, Peer :> :> Groetjes Martin.
