Re: 1992 SC DOHC Cluth Problems

who did the clutch job? if it was a saturn dealership they should have replaced the hydralics with it, if it wasn't saturn, i bet the hydralics are still orginal right? remember brake fuild is also used as clutch fluid. the spongy feel brakes get after a few years is caused many times by old fluid. the clutch hydralics are no different IMHO. if the fluid is 13 years old, i think the hydralics need replaced.

but at the same time it does sound like the clutch is starting to slip, i doubt that would be caused by the hydralics. oil soaked clutch will cause slipping. also what else was replaced with the clutch? (pressure plate, throw-out bearing, flywheel serviced?) also have you had other people driving your car latey? do you ride the clutch? you may want to get under the engine and take a look inside the inspection cover, and check the clutch fluid.
