I would not worry about the marks on the slave, unless you were using a hammer?

How did you compress the pressure plate? I'm guessing this is a new replacement one? It may be that you need to do a better job on compressing the pressure plate to allow clearence for everyone. BTDT kind of thing.

So... consider taking the pressure plate out, and redoing the pressure and applying the stopping ring to keep the PP fully retracted. As with many things on SAABs there are many ways to do this. One way that is pretty easy to control is to you the lever jack that comes with the car.

put a nice thick piece of cardboard on the floor beneath the jack point on the car, put the PP friction side down onto the that nice protective card board- no sliding around on the concrete- place the jack in the slot under the body, what do you have to center up the jack foot force onto the center of the pressure plate? If you replaced the slave then the old slave works well. you may find it better to center the slave back to front, ie the piston side away from the fingers on the PP, the back is wider and will cover the fingers better. then start the jack and apply pressure onto the slave (or what ever you found that you like) to depress the fingers. do it slowly, the PP sometimes will be almost binary, it's on one side or the other of being open or closed, and the transition is sometimes like a light switch (rememeber you are not using the fine graduation of a clutch pedal driving a master to hydralic fluid to a hydralic slave back to fine increments of mechanical movement) so watch for the teeter to totter... then make *sure* that your method of holding the PP fingers in place is tight, if it isn't you need to turn up your method, fatter wire, perhaps use a large screwdrive and hammer and tap the keeper back further towards the outter portion of the PP, something to make it as tight as possible... Then, slowly, jack back down and see that the PP fingers move very little, if at all, then put it back together and tell us how it's going!
