My build won't really agree with them.
I ended up getting them out of a deal gone bad last summer.

BTW, 82003-4 is the number for the set, 82003-1 is the individual number.

I'll probably take them off your hands for 20 bucks. Soon I'll even have a car to put them in.

I took it in early february to have the clutch changed and the clutch slave cylinder replaced as it was leaking fluid onto the clutch.

After getting it back it rattled like crazy sorta as though the gears were chattering against each other but did it with the clutch in or out. Long story short , it's now back in at Saturn for the 5th time over this transmission in which they have now screwed up so badly I'm probably going to be faced with having to get the whole transmission replaced if they can't fix it this time. It's currently in pieces there and has been since thursday last week. I'm supposed to be getting it back late next week. And of course Saturn of Canada will do nothing for me all i get is "we will take care of it" bullshit. I even had them make one of the GM territory reps call me and he was even more useless. Since I'm already posting this, any suggestions about getting some legal action in this? It's become blatantly obvious that Saturn of Saskatoon has no clue what they are doing and is destroying my car.... I have asked numerous times how you can cause damage to a transmission by doing a simple clutch install.

Oh and to top it all off. After getting the car back the first time it has been slowly losing coolant and is not dripping on the ground. Naturally I am assuming head gasket so it is in there having that looked at too. I spoke with the service manager last week about it and he was going to start ripping into the intake manifold as they thought the leak was there. I told him it was loosing engine coolant not any fluid from the intercooler system and told him the two systems were not linked at all and do not share coolant. So yeah.... great dealership. Nice people but have no clue what they are doing.

could you take it to someplace like sherwood, or SMP? or does it have to be a Saturn dealership? i think the chev dealerships are not quite as retarded

and why havent you signed up for the drumheller meet?

Oh ya, and it does depend on how fast you were going too...

But i got two "Excessive Speeding" tickets in one year (30+ km over) and no points docked.
