My po saturn sc1 1998 5sp
 

HELP ME! I have a saturn, when it's engaged in first gear, give it some gas and while having the clutch engaged, the engine starts to shake and sounds like it's going to shut down but never does. Well it may happen if this keeps happening. Sometimes i have hard time engaging the first and third gear as well.
What could cause the engine to shake like that? Hopefully it's not a big problem but it sure sounds like one:crying:

It's a Saturn...

I honestly do feel bad. Having a car die on you sucks. I have never worked on transmissions, other than replacing a clutch on a friends car.

I wish you good luck, and advise that you use the cash for clunkers program and purchase something affordable that you might like. The Cube is a realy nice car and you might appreciate and understand if you drove one.

Just my thoughts

Good luck bud.

I know, it's my 370z smoker:owned:

it might be bad or loose mounts? i had this problem in one of my cars in the past.
