98 SC1 clutch cylinder problem?gypsy07 07-08-2009, 01:10 PM 98 Saturn SC1 1.9l 5 sp.manual After reading many of the related threads, I think I have a clutch master/slave cylinder issue. There's quite a bit of resistance shifting thru the gears when the car is not moving, with engine at idle or revved up to 2-3k rpm. . (no gear grinding though). Car shifts much easier when driving. My son also noticed that when idling at a fast food drive thru lane the car was wanting to move while in 1st & clutch pushed in. I recently replaced the shifter bushing. Also, from previous reading, the concensious is that the clutch master/slave cylinder are replaced as a set, but cylinders are sold seperately at autozone. slave cylinder: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsShelf.jsp?displayName=Clutch+Slave+Cylinder¤tPage=1&categoryDisplayName=Drivetrain&navValue=11200726&itemId=prod60108&parentId=cat30054 master cylinder: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsShelf.jsp?displayName=Clutch+Master+Cylinder¤tPage=1&categoryDisplayName=Drivetrain&navValue=11200173&itemId=prod61691&parentId=cat30054 Also shown in the links, what appears to be a set. If you think a clutch master/slave cylinder replacement is needed, which of the part(s) do you think I need? Many thanks for you help.

I believe I have the chart at home that I will post later tonight. If it is bad then buy the unit as a whole, not in pieces. However note that a worn clutch disk, or worn pressure plate fingers can produce the same results vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
