Use the Gold antifreeze. It lasts longer and does not cause corrosion to the cooling system.
To remove the harmonic balancer on a 1998 Saturn SL2, you will need to use a harmonic balancer puller tool. First, remove any surrounding components that may impede access. Then, attach the puller to the balancer and use a wrench to slowly tighten the puller until the balancer comes off.
Saturn recommends 5W30. But I put 10W30 in my 2002 Saturn SL2 now that it has higher mileage, and it runs like a gem. I use Quaker State High Mileage (with Slick 50) to give it additional lubrication.
Press and hold time(recall), and use the up and down options for tuner to adjust time
recomended 5w-30 but for regions above 20 degrees fahrenheit 10w-30
Look at the oil filler cap. My 97 SL2 says 5W-30.
its a gm product so it should be dextron II but its ok to use dextron III its actually better to use
No clutch cable... Saturns use a hydraulic clutch system for all manual transmissions.

You use a paper clip to flash the SES light to get the engine code for '91-'95 s-series. Or you use an OBD II scanner for '96+ s-series
No, there is no timing belt on any of the the 4 cylinder Saturns, they all use an internal timing chain.
