My 97 SL2 was in for dealer service yesterday. They advised me that the clutch is near going. Damn, and after only 191,000 miles! The symptom that they referred was that at a standstill, it is sometimes difficult to shift from neutral into first gear.
On the service ticket, they quote $1,097.00 parts and labor included. That seems high. What is a reasonable rate in the Danbury, CT area (NYC bedroom)?
Thanks,

I would do some searching about clutch problems for mine does that also and I don't remember what I fould but it had something to do with I believe linkage not the clutch for it was fine in all other gears. I also read if you putit into 1st slowly it would work, which I tried and yes it did work. Also you can always start in second but I would search for mor info. Phil
ouch! that is high. I would get an exact cost (labor and parts) breakdown from Saturn then do some looking around. You don't have a warranty and a clutch is a clutch.
