1995 SW1 manual transmission shift linkage problem

My 1995 Saturn SW1 has become increasingly difficult to shift. We thought
it might be the clutch and replaced it. it hasn't solved the problem.

Symptoms: Clutch has to jammed to the floor, and then the shift lever
somewhat forced into gear. Most difficultly is with lower gears.

When looking at the shifter cables from above the engine, the lower cable
is attached to the clutch but is not attached to the transmission. (the
top cable is attached to both.)

I'd guess that your clutch is low on Automatic Transmission fluid. The
reservoir is on the firewall buried deep but you can find it if you look
hard.

Just purchase an OEM saturn Clutch and Slave cylinder about $120. I did
that and it fixed my problem. Didn't even change the clutch. SL2 1997
