Need advice about slipping clutch
Hi manual lovers, I need some advice about my situation. I drive a SAAB 9-3 Aero (stage 1) with 190k kms/120k miles. I recently took it to a SAAB specialist in Sweden for suspension restoration and they didn't report anything about my clutch.
Yesterday I went to another SAAB specialist for alignment and the mechanic said that my clutch is slipping badly in all gears and I must drive very carefully. He then offered a clutch kit and quoted upwards of 10k sek / 1k usd.
I have tested for clutch slip before by accelerating from 40kmph in 4th gear and the RPM wasn't shooting up. When I did full throttle in 40 & 4th nothing happens for a couple of seconds and once the turbo is spooled then the RPM goes up and my car also speeds up.
After the diagnosis I contacted the first shop for a second opinion & retested for slipping in 4th and 5th. I think it's slipping a bit in 5th but it was nothing weird in 4th. Only concerning thing is I can smell something nasty after I finish the drive when I tested the clutch.
Can anyone give some advice?
Tldr: Shop 1 didn't report bad clutch, shop 2 says clutch is slipping in all gears. RPM not shooting up when accelerating from 40kmph in 4th, speed goes up and rpm goes up after turbo is spooled. Burning smell after stopping the car. Need help!
Note : I'm going on a roadtrip tomorrow and want some affirmation that it's safe to drive..
