I had the similar symptoms several years ago on my 92 900 (~80K) and it was diagnosed (by the local Saab Service Center) as a sticking clutch linkage. It would occasionally bind up somewhere along its run and would stop somewhere around halfway out, only to pop out suddenly, engaging the clutch. It has a very distinctive feel because it pops up and hits your foot. I could drive it ok because I was used to the car but others would stall it because they weren't expecting the occasional sudden engage of the clutch. Initially I felt like I was imagining the problem because it might only happen once every couple of days but it gradually started happening every couple of shifts.
I don't remember whether the solution was a cable replacement or just some lubrication. I expect that it was just lubricated because the symptom are starting to return. I would also get your hydraulics and clutch looked at as well, my 900s required a clutch replace at 128K and lost the brake master cylinder at around 145K.
