I think that unless you are the original owner of the car, you have to accept the possibility that the clutch that was in your car isn't what it left the factory with. Could be a late '89 with the 90+ turbo clutch or have been "upgraded" by a PO. Either leaves open the possibilty that ordering the clutch for an '89 is going to leave you with the wrong part. Showing the Saab parts guy the old part gave him a big advantage over Todd with respect to getting you the part you needed. I don't think anyone sells the non-turbo kit because the turbo kit has always been cheaper. Scan-Tech hasn't branched into the clutch area yet, thankfully, so you only could have gotten a Sachs or an AP, both good stuff and OE. Todd has always been good to me when I wasn't happy. I'd be very surprised if you can't work it out agreeably.
