Issue shifting from 1st --> 2nd when cold.
Matt 2 February 2005 17:04:27
	Hi, Is this something I should be concerned about, and does anyone know what it might be? I have a 2000 SL1 with 30,000 miles on it. In cold weather when I go to shift from 1st to 2nd gear I feel as though I have to exert more pressure then normal to get it to go into gear... further there is a "catching" feeling as though something is getting caught, then uncaught, and then moving finally into second. If I shift from 1st to 3rd, then into 2nd (not leaving the clutch out between the whole deal).. it goes into 2nd just fine... Any ideas?

	Matt <spammers@are.bad.com> wrote:> On a stick shift??? The manual transmissions in S-series Saturns are filled with automatic transmission fluid (ATF) instead of gear oil. (I'm not actually sure why, but clearly it works fine.) That reminds me that I'm overdue for my 100k mile ATF change in my 1998 SW2 (also a stick shift). The Saturn manuals seem to be very solid, but Saturn clearly doesn't want to sell them much any more. When I needed a new AWD or 4WD vehicle, I gave Saturn's Vue first shot but they wouldn't sell me one with a manual transmission so I paid more to buy a vehicle from another manufacturer. -DanD -- # Dan Duncan (kd4igw) dand@pcisys.net http://pcisys.net/~dand # Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you like. # -Mark Twain

	hey matt, ive been playing around with my SL's taransmission / linkage / anything to do with the cursed thing, but anyway i think i have your answer. all the other answers you got about the trany fluid is not wrong, that should be the first thing you check, but heres a little more info on the car itself. to begin with, not to discourrage you, but the shifting mechanism for saturn is... well to put it short, not the best. your problem may have something to do with the gear lockout, it is something that alot of cars have to keep you from shifting back into first gear when you are attempting to shift from 2nd to 3rd, which would explain how you were saying how it workis fine if you put it in 3rd then 2nd. for the most part i will tell you that it is nothing to really worry about, its just annoying, and it usually only happens in cold weather, as it does to my car. the best advice i can give you is to let the car COMPLETELY warm up the next time you are going out to your car after its been sitting for a long time. if this doesnt work, try reposting, i could fill up this entire site with the things ive had to deal with concerning the transmission in my saturn. keep it real.

Any ideas? Have you checked the clutch fluid? If the clutch is low on brake fluid you will get similiar symptoms. The reservoir is buried deep against the firewall but you can find it if you look. -- Free men own guns, slaves don't www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5357/

Look on the top of the transmission. There is a dipstick that has a handle that folds over. If you look down between the battery and the brake master cylinder you should see it. Ken
