Clutch problems...latest in a week of issues

So its been a long week with my 94 9000 Aero, starting with the shift coupler breaking on tuesday. That gave me enough of a scare thinking I needed to replace the transmission...fortunately with the help of saabnetters I managed to do the zip tie fix and get back on the road yesterday. Thats when I noticed that the lovely sound of my blow off valve was replaced by the unhealthy noise of a failing turbo bypass. Back to eeuroparts for another simple fix right? Well not quite because last night while I was coming up to a stop light I depressed the clutch to down shift and the pedal stuck to the floor...literally. I pulled it back with my foot and tried again but there was no action. I was able to get to my destination timing lights carefully and shifting without the clutch, then I had it towed to my friend's garage. A couple of old posts suggest it might be a master cylinder, but in those the problem seemed to come on gradually. The way it felt made me think that it was a complete hydraulic failure, but there is no obvious leak. So any ideas? I hope this is something I can fix because I really love the car, but the last week has been trying my patience. It reminds me of a girl I used to know...but thats another long expensive story. Also if anyone can recommend a good Saab mechanic in the Boston area for someone to fall back on, I would appreciate it. Thank you all
John
