I have a 1993 Saab 900 Commemorative Edition #49
I love my car but am very tempted to sell it now.

So 3 weeks ago I go out to drive my Saab, and immediately notice theres no clutch pressure.
I start it in neutral, try to pump the clutch to no avail, check my brake fluid which is in between low and high. I find no drip marks on the carpet by the clutch or under the car.
My master cylinder and slave cylinder were replaced about 2 years & 10k miles ago.
So I tow my 900 in and mechanic finds that the master cylinder was leaking and replaced it.
I get it back, it drives great for about a week, then I park it at a restaurant and come out to no clutch pressure again.
Towed back to mechanic who finds Clutch Slave is leaking and replaces it. Upon replacement my mechanic did his normal drive around the block, well tried to anyways as the Slave fails and immediately leaks.
I had warned them about what i've seen posted on the forum about the seals and to check them before replacing which they assured me they did. So they returned that part to the vendor and ordered a Genuine Saab Slave Cylinder which they compared to the look of the 1st one and found looks slightly different.
Today I picked up my Saab, they had tested it around the block and all was good.
So I left with a $518 bill, I made a few stops, and then while driving I noticed the clutch pedal got firmer from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th and then all pressure was gone by the time I hit 5th.

So now I assume the 2nd Slave Cylinder this week is bad? Or could I have something else going on?
