Right now the Sonnet cant be put in gear, the clutch is light as air, pumping the pedal has no effect on the fluid in the lines. There is fluid moving through the lines without blockage. "Well how do you know that?" easy, cause my dumbass friend sucked DOT3 through the clutch line into his mouth.
After a little research the general thought is that the clutch master cylinder has locked up due to a dry rotted rubber grommet letting dirt/dust/water in. So the next step is getting the master cylinder out and waiting for the rebuild kit I ordered.
That's of course easier said than done, the master is attached to the firewall, way back in the engine compartment and is beyond difficult to reach, much less get any leverage on. As usual, thanks for the convenience SAAB...
Tim at the junkyard just saws a trapezoidal hole to reach the master cylinder (its a rather common problem) but I'm trying to not cut the frame.
