its accually easy, from inside the car, you need to squeeze under the dashboard. at the top of your clutch pedal there is a small metal clip holding the rod for the clutch master cylinder. use a small flat blade screw driver to lift the tab on the clip, and slide it off. push the rod of the master cylinder off the clutch pedal and let the clutch pedal fall to the floor. from under the hood, reach down and grab the clutch master cylinder and twist to the left i believe... cant remember. the unit is held in just like a headlight bulb, just twist and pull. the slave clylinder is held in by two 13mm nuts at the transmission. remove the nuts, and same procedure, twist and pull. becarefull pulling the slave out because the rod that opperates the clutch fork can sometimes fall off and land inside the transmission.... not good. once you have it off, pull the entire assembly out of the vehicle. the clutch system must be replaced as an entire unit since there is no bleading procedure for saturn. the units came from the factory pre assembled, and pre-bleed.
~$600
No clutch cable... Saturns use a hydraulic clutch system for all manual transmissions.
if it is anything like my 97' Saturn Sl2. The engine must be dropped out to dismount the transmission.
FOR ME THERE IS NO WAY TO BLEED A CLUTCH ON A SATURN BUT IF YOU REPALCE ONE PART SOMETIME ITS POSSIBLE. 20 % CHANCE .THE ONLY WAY ITS TO REPLACE THE SLAVE AND THE CYLINDER AS A SEALED KIT
The clutch on a Saturn is not adjustable. If your having problems with the clutch, first thing you should do is check the fluid level. there is a small resiorvior located to the right of your brake master cylinder, on the firewall. If the unit is full, you may need to replace your clutch.
When you let the clutch out all the way, if it continues to slip, it's worn out. A slipping clutch indicates that the clutch wear surface has gone. Plan on replacing the clutch disk, pressure plate, throwout bearing and have the flywheel resurfaced. While it's apart, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the clutch master and slave cylinders as well. If the clutch will not release when you press the pedal, it could be a warped clutch disk or pressure plate or a faulty hydraulic clutch system (master cylinder/slave cylinder).
This is a far reaching question that needs more clarification. There are cylinders where the pistons are located. If you have a clutch then you have a clutch master and slave cylinder. On the brakes you have a master cylinder and wheel cylinders. And the beat goes on. You need to distinguish as to which cylinder you are referring.
bleed clutch Saturn vue 2003
To replace the clutch you must separate the engine and transmission. For a front wheel drive vehicle, separating the engine and transmission can only be accomplished by removing the engine.
Check Clutch master and slave cylinders
In all honesty, it sounds like your car needs a clutch replacement. If the car has high miles or has been driven hard, replace the clutch.
Most places will change around $600 in labor for the replacement
