Saturn S-Series

the normal tools (wrenches and sockets) with the exception of the axle nut. not 100 % on this one either 32milimeter or 1"1/4 you have the luxury of taking your cap off before your wheel to try this.when you get all your tools together its not that bad of a job.

The complete headliner must be removed to gain access to the motor.All interior trim around the headliner must be removed including the dome light. Push the front seats back and recline them to allow the headliner to come out the front door. BE CAREFUL not to bend the headliner because it cannot be repaired if cracked. Motor replacement can be done after the headliner is out. WARNING : This is not a job for most amateurs. You may want to see your dealer before attempting this job. Good Luck. Just replaced my motor on a 99 sc2. took all of 20 min!!!! three bolts and two electical connectors. easy going in and easy coming out. lithium white grease ($3.29 from auto zone) on the tracks and it works like a champ. Simply remove the visors, center lights and sunroof switch cover and center dome light. the headliner simply snaps down minus the velcro! Didnt even take the headliner completely off, just the front. Dont have to be a genius just careful with the headliner.

Drain the oil from the oil pan removing the 14mm bolt. Drain into certified oil container. Twist filter counter clockwise located above the axle on the back of the engine. Replace with a new one with oil on the seal. Replace the 14mm bolt in the oil pan. Refill car with 3 qts oil. Start car and run for 30 seconds. Shut car off and check oil level, top off as needed

The fuses that effect those compoments are in the fuse brick under the hood

There is none.

Funny thing about saturns, they don't have an "odometer cable" They use a magnetic pickup assembly, located in the rear of the transmission, just above the passanger side axle output. this sensor is connected directly to the engine computer. from the computer the signal then goes to your instrument panel and is converted into electricity to drive a small motor to turn the digits which you can see. if the odometer has stopped working, replace the speed sensor on the transmission, or your instrument panel has failed.

See My Bio For Information & Contact Details. I believe it's the same for your manual transmission '98 as my '97: automatic transmission fluid. Yes, I was taken aback when I read that in two manuals (DEXRON II). Check it with the provided dipstick (driver's side, beneath and slightly in front of the brake master cylibder)--and yes, it's auto transmission fluid. Check fluid level when the car is COLD and on a level surface. Dipstick should read "full". My manuals suggest it should be changed only once, when the car's reached 6,000 miles, and then just topped up thereafter. Since yours is a '98, that's likely long passed. :-) Drain plug is underneath the tranny. Suggestion: $15 for a Chilton's or Haynes manual or $20 for a year's subscription to a Mitchell's (http://www.eautorepair.net) might serve you well. Browse through examples you can locate and pick the one that fits your needs. the tipe of oil is ATF or Automatic Transmission Fluid Dexixron III and yes there is a dipstick on the top of the transmission it is normally colored red use a light to look down in ontop of it(located on the drivers side)

It's called a "maintenance free" transmission, meaning that you shouldn't need to add fluid between changes... however, since it's a mechanical device, something always goes wrong.

There is a plug on the side of the transmission that also indicates the fill level. The transmission fluid should be filled to that level. Just make sure you're removing the right thing; no point in causing permanent damage.

Bad oil rings. Do a Murder Mystery Oil Soak on the cylinders

check the ignition model the hind coil packs.when the ignition gets hot it does not send spark to the coil pack.

Call your Honda dealer, they shld replaced it free of charge. They have a bulletin for it and shld we under warranty still

if its clear its water and needs to be removed and replaced with Antifreeze. You can get pre-diluted or strait antifreeze which you must dilute yourself 50/50. The kind needed is in your car manual or on the resivoir cap the way those buckets are set up it will look clear sometimes

First raise the hood.Removing the top engine mount gives easier access.Jack the car up on the right side,remove the right front tire,remove the inter fender at the quick release fasteners.The original tensioner can be rolled back with a 9/16" wrench,then remove the belt.Take the top bolt for the tensioner from under the hood with a 10mm boxed end wrench,then you can remove the bottom bolt threw the wheel opening with the same tool or you can use a ratchet and socket.Then replace the parts you have removed Replacing the belt can be done by you self, but having help makes it a lot easier.

1979 Saturn SL2, alternator, replace, these directions apply for getting to the alternator on the 1979 SL2.

YOU CAN NOT CAN NOT REMOVE THAT MOUNT WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE ENGINE

accutally you can remove the top engine mount without supporting the engine because the motor will only drop 2 inches before the lower engine support cradle sits on the subframe. will putting a jack under the engine help you to line it all back up when your done... yes, but not necessary

that a good way to put nonsense strain on your other mounts, keep in mind that most of them are dog bone style and also putting strain on eletrical .... smarter not harder

yes, dogbone mounts that will swing,and if any extra strain is put on them its only for at most 10 min. no harm is done to the electrical being that there is really no electrical on the pully side of the engine. a 2" drop on the pully side isn't going to harm any electrical on the trans side of the motor. i do 4-5 of these tensioners a week this way and have never had a problem

I just did this in a 1993 SW2 and I'm assuming that the door construction is relatively the same.

1. Remove the mirror. You'll need a Philips screw driver, a set of small Allen keys and a 10mm metric wrench. First remove the interior trim by undoing the screw and detaching the mirror adjustor (assuming manual here) using the appropriate Allen key. Next remove the insulation and detach the 3 nuts holding the mirror using the 10mm wrench being carefull not to drop the nuts. The mirror should pull off with a gentle tug.

2. Remove the exterior door skin. You'll need a Torx screwdriver . On the inside edge of the door you'll see a series of black headed flat screws that fit a Torx screwdriver and hold the exterior skin on. Remove these. Remove the door handle by lifting up on it and carefully pulling the 2 pins from the bottom. Next slide the door handle to the left and it should come off rather easily. Finally, remove the black window gasket where the door panel meets the bottom of the window. Do this by pulling up firmly on the gasket. Once this is removed the door panel should pull off with gentle force exposing the inside of the door.

3. Remove the interior door panel. You'll need a Philips screwdriver for this. First, detach the mechanism for the interior door handle and lock accessed from the exerior. There are little clips that you'll need to detach before you can pull the rods out. Now, from the interior remove the door handle and trim by removing the 3 screws and then sliding the unit forwards and prying outwards. Once complete, gently pull the interior door panel off by prying at the edges.

Remove the lower space frame supports on the exterior. You'll need a 10mm wrench. There are 2 rods held onto the door with 3 bolts that come from the bottom corners to the middle door support. Remove these.

5. Remove the power window motor and regulator as one unit. You'll need a drill, drill bits and a 10mm wrench. Drill out the 4 rivets holding the motor and regulator mechanism to the door. Undo the 2 bolts holding the lower regulator track. Carefull that the window does not fall down at this point. Finally, slide the wheels out of the upper regulator track that is attached to the window. This will take a bit of patience.

6. Install the new window motor and regulator using 4 x 10mm long bolts and locknuts where the rivets were drilled out and then reverse the steps above to reassemble the door.

In my experience I determined that there are 2 types of window motor/regulator parts. If the new one is not the same a the old then you'll need to reverse the upper regulator track attached to the window. This requires a specialized tool which you may be better off bringing the window into a auto glass shop so they can do this. There is enough room to drop the window out the bottom of the door by turning it sideways and carefully manouvering it.

Good Luck

No

Check the fluid level. If you have fluid, you may have any of a number of problems.

Most likely it will be either a faulty hydraulic pump or poor seals in the valve body. Either way, you'll need a shop to make the necessary repairs.

There is a bolt under neath the tranny. take it out and drain the fluid. ATF fluid 2.6 quarts is the capacity of the tranny

You need to go to autozone/advanced auto and check the codes with their scanner if you do not have one. Then to go saturnfans.com and in the how-to library the codes are listed by Wolfman.

Turn radio off. Press in the radio power on button while pressing station up button to change minutes, the down station button to change hours.

Wow, you have a stock radio/ cd player ?

On my 2000 S-series you have the radio "ON" , hold the "RCL" button in while adjusting the time with the "plus or minus" which is also the tune rocker button.
