is failing/leaking. If you're getting fluid inside the passenger compartment on your clutch pedal, the source of the problem is pretty apparent.
If I understand your description, sounds like you need a new clutch master cylinder. It can be a somewhat awkward job but I can do one in about 1 hour, bleeding included.
I usually get away with a simple means of bleeding the clutch line. Connect some clear vinyl tubing at your slave bleed nipple and drop the other end into your brake master cylinder fluid reservoir. Then loosen the bleed nipple and pump your clutch pedal with a small pole or rod that you grasp through the open driver's side window. Watch for the bubbles to travel from the slave up to the reservoir. When no more bubbles appear, tighten the slave bleed nipple. This method has worked for me for 20+ years. It might get you out of a pinch while you R&R your master cylinder.
I don't have any experience with clutchless driving, I'd be too paranoid with a c900 transmission.
Unless I was on a Saab-sponsored race team. And then I'd be too distracted that I'm on a Saab-sponsored race team.
Best of luck.
