It's a common failure point on these cars. The squeaky clutch could be superficial, or it could be a master cylinder problem. > 1.

I've never used slick 50 or any other additive, but people say bad things about it. I'd steer clear of it. You might want to consider switching to synthetic oil though, especially since you have a turbo to cool. > 2.

I'm sure someone here knows. Regarding gear lube: the factory lube is 10w30 engine oil. I would recommend a synthetic MTF to replace it. I'm currently running BG SynchroShift, which works well. > > I would appreciate any info you guys might be willing to give a first time > saab owner.
