Unfortunately these parts are scarse and you can expect more issues with the vehicle overtime and regardless what needs to be repaired its almostimpossible to get the parts for the vehicle .Everyone I know that owned or owns a Saab are either sellingortrading them in before parts are obsolite and you can not maintain these vehicles anymore.You will be needing a clutch and possible transmission repair in the furture .At this point you will need to think of what you want .Honestly I would invest into another vehicle that has parts available and can be repaired.Please remember the site has changed and you need to click the got the job done or higher rating for me to get credit for my help.Anything lower gives me negative feedback and I do not get compensated for my help.If you need further assistance please let me know I would be glad to help.Positive feedback and bonuses greatly appreciated.
