New clutch & associated parts

I just finished putting a new clutch, pressure plate, slave/TOB, and did the rear main & both input shaft seals. I also replaced the rear motor mount since I was there (I should have replaced the tranny mount while I was there too, but oh well).
I have to say, that I'm super thankful to everyone here on the board for their knowledge and tips for doing this job at home! With the help of a good friend who's a motorhead and his cherry picker, we were able to do replace all of the above mentioned parts in about 10hrs, in one sitting. I did not expect to be able to do that, and he was pleasantly surprised with Saab's transmission setup and how easy (for him!) the job really was.
I replaced the tranny fluid with Redline MTL per suggestions of this board, but I think I need to bleed the clutch just a little. With the pedal to the floor, I can shift fine, the clutch is depressed. but as soon as I start to let off the pedal, it starts to engage. would bleeding the clutch more help this? the pedal is very easy to depress so I guess my pressure plate really was getting old/worn.
thanks again everyone!
