hi everyone!
I own a SL200 - 2001 - 4cyl. 150000 KM

Since there's some air in the clutch system, I found the way to bleed it with he bleeder located at the top of the slave cylinder clutch.
Problems is that I have to bleed alomost everyday....
Driving slowly with frequents stops won't cause any problems;
Driving at medium/fast speed for 15-20 min will cause the clutch pedal to loose resistance; by pumping the pedal 7-8 times, pressure will come back... or If I have time, just have to stop and reopenes the bleeder to get the air out.
I've been told that the slave cylinder clutch is available as original parts only and come with the clutch kit.... which is real expensive to have it replace!
Any way to replace it?
Would air get into system through something else??
Oil level in the master cylinder reservoir never get down... guess there's no leak..........
Please help!!!!!
Thanks

You can buy the slave cylinder assemblyfrom Saturn without buying the disc and other related clutch parts. Edited by: sw2cam

Finally fixed!

Clutch kit including slave cylinder - 1 year warranty /25000 km
and flywheel refaced ; $760.00 instead of $1750.00 at the dealership.

Let's wait for next problems... lol!!!!

Thanks
