Clutch?

Clutch?

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,

JimR

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.

Re: Clutch?

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.

Re: Clutch?

foretell Him before His advent, and an entire nation worship Him after His
advent; what has preceded and what has followed; in short, people without
idols and kings, this synagogue which was foretold, and these wretches who
frequent it and who, being our enemies, are admirable witnesses of the truth
of these prophecies, wherein their wretchedness and even their blindness are
foretold.

I find this succession, this religion, wholly divine in its authority, in
its duration, in its perpetuity, in its morality, in its conduct, in its
doctrine, in its effects. The frightful darkness of the Jews was foretold.
Eris palpans in meridie.144 Dabitur liber scienti literas... et dicet: Non
possum legere.145 While the sceptre was still in the hands of the first
foreign usurper, there is the report of the coming of Jesus Christ.

So I hold out my arms to my Redeemer, who, having been foretold for four
thousand years, has come to suffer and to die for me on earth, at the time
and under all the circumstances foretold. By His grace, I await death in
peace, in the hope of being eternally united to Him. Yet I live with joy,
