Replaced the clutch in the 94 Saturn. Clutch will not disengage completely to allow shifting. With the engine running, I press in the clutch, but the trans will not shift into gear. Stop the engine, shift into gear, start engine and the car wants to creep forward. I have bled the clutch slave cylinder, but this did not help.

No I did not replace the master and the slave cylinder. The pedal does go down a little before you start to feel pressure. I found another site today where they recommend replacing both at the same time as the clutch. Do you agree that I should do this.

The clutch came apart is the reason we replaced it. We picked up a master and slave combo today and replaced them, problem solved. Thanks for the help!
