96 Saturn SL

I have a 4 cylinder, 5 speed. Can't shift when car is running. When engine
is off, shifts fine. I checked the transmission fluid, it's fine. The
clutch fluid was low, about down to a 1/4 inch. I added more fluid. Still
won't shift. Also, when the engine is running, and I push in the clutch, I
hear a clicking sound I didn't have before. It goes away when I release the
clutch.
HELP!!!

Try bleeding the clutch fluid. I had a similar problem years ago, bled
the system and all was fine afterwards. I'm not sure how the air got in
the system and why it didn't happen again but I'm not complaining.

Any one know how to bleed the clutch?

pump clutch pedal,hold pedal down while your helper cracks open the
bleeder screw on the slave cylinder.Make sure that you dont let the
resivoir run out of fluid though.

The "officail" GM manual does not cover bleeding it. It states that
units are not field servicable and the slave is supposed to be
replaced with a new replacement prebleed one from factory.
