I have an '04 Saturn Ion with 37k miles and have been having trouble getting the car into 1st gear and an even harder time into reverse. (If it becomes too hard, I have to turn off the car, easily shift into 1st or reverse and restart the car).
I took it to the dealer they replaced the master and slave cylinder but then told me that didnt correct the problem.
Then they told me that the clutch is going bad, not covered under warranty and over $1,000 to fix. I'm just not confident that they really know what the problem is because they are only diagnosing via the phone with Saturn Corp and not physically checking it out...not to mention they were wrong about the master/slave and I dont want to pay 1k if thats not the problem either.
If I start the car on 1st and accelerate while pressing on the clutch...the car does not go forward. I read that this was a way to see if clutch was slipping.
Anyway...Has anyone else had this happen to them? What else could it be?
Thanks!
