if the clutch pedal is soft an won't let the the tranny go into gear then that means time for a new clutch

IF it wont go into gear its the pressure plate. It it slips under hard acceleration (engine revs and car doesnt speed up) the plate it worn out. Either requires replacement of both. Get a Kit

How to adjust the clutch on 1996 Saturn SL1?

To the best of my knowledge, the clutch on this vehicle is hydraulic and does not need to be adjusted manually. If you are having trouble engaging the clutch or shifting you should have your clutch checked to see if it needs to be replaced. I had, what sounds like, the same problem with my clutch. I own a 1995 Saturn SL2 with a hydraulic clutch. I COULD NOT put car into gear, whether the car was running or turned off. It turned out that the hyrdaulic clutch was out of hydraulic fluid. I took it to my mechanic, (I hadn't the slightest clue what could be causing this). He took a look and filled the clutch with hydraulic fluid and said it works just fine now. He said he didn't see a leak, or any indications of a leak. So we will see. But the short of it is, your (hydraulic) clutch may just need hydraulic fluid.


Why is my 1996 Saturn suddenly more difficult to shift gears manual transmission?

Check the hydraulic fluid in the clutch master cylinder. It could also be a worn/warped clutch plate or a problem with the cluch hydraulic system.

You were wondering what could be wrong with your 1996 Saturn sl2 you have a 5 speed manual transmission and it will go into every gear just fine accept first unless you slam it in of slip the clutch?

A warped or otherwise damaged clutch disk or a faulty clutch master or slave cylinder could be preventing the clutch from completely disengaging when you depress the clutch pedal.
