Clutch pedal feels very weak, very little pressure...

(92 900 S)
I haven't been posting much lately because for the past year, my saab 900 s with 150,000 miles has been running like a champ...that is, until tonight.
I'm driving on the LIE (495) out in Long Island, NY when all of a sudden I couldn't find the clutch pedal. It was practically siting on the floor. So I started to pump the clutch pedal and I got some pressure back...but it was really nerve racking. Usually there is 1" play before I can feel the clutch pressure, now it's more like 4-5 inches worth of play before I feel the clutch. I also noticed that the clutch feel is very spongy and it pulsates slightly. Does anyone know what's happening here? I have one of those oil pressure gauges in the din and noticed the the oil psi is at 50 psi at hwy speeds when it's usually between 60 and 70 psi. Also, When I'm idling at a red light , the psi drops to 15 psi and it normally idles at 20 psi.
The clutch is not slipping! The car pulls as long as I can engage the clutch.
I also noticed a metallic screech as soon as I'm letting of the clutch from 2 to 3rd. The sreech seems to be coming from the tranny area. I need to get this checked out by a saab mechanic asap before I get stranded somewhere.
Any recommendations on a good saab mechanic on Long Island? I'm in nassau county.
