Did you try bleeding it?
The ones I am familiar with, the slave cylinder is bolted onto the side of the bell housing at the point where your clutch lever sticks out.
I guess if you could decide which you are talking about, the master or the slave, it could be answered. masters do not have bleed screws, slaves do. slave cylinders at the back wheels have bleeders which are on the inside of the backing plate, slave cylinder in the front caliper has a bleeder which sticks out the top of the caliper. clutch slave is a horse of a different color in a saturn. may have to buy a whole new master/line/slave assembly.
one way to bleed it is by pulling the piston like slave cylinder with the rod out of the transmission and by pushing the rod into the slave cylinder several times, make sure you have plenty of dot3 brake fluid in the clutch master slave before you do this. by pushing the rod into the slave cylinder it acts like doing a brake job it bleeds the air out into the clutch master slave cylinder and sucks in the break fluid getting rid of all air in the system. thats the only way to bleed those systems seeing as they are sealed systems
is there a line you can follow from the clutch slave cylinder to the fire wall and does it go into the brake master cylinder? if so top up the brake master to the max level and no more
There would be a bleed nipple on it. It would be located near the bellhousing. Open nipple a little let fluod seep out until no bubbles in it. Make sure you top the fluid up and dont let it empty.
I just installed a new clutch master cylinder and was not able to bleed the system however; I continued to pump the clutch many, many, many times. Simply moving fluid and eventually I bagan to get a little pedal back. I then figured that if I parked the car on a downward slope the resivoir would be the tallest component and residual air may rise up ward. This is only a theory and I haven't proven its effectiveness yet. So far, only a little pedal.
