Ok, so this has absolutely nothing to do with trucks but...

My roommate is having some odd issues with her saturn. If the car has been sitting there for a while, like overnight, She literally has no pressure in the clutch (it's as soft as butter) when she pushes it in in the morning to start it. She also has to really put force into the shifter to even get it into gear (manual trans). But the odd thing about it is she will drive down to the end of the block and it will start working like normal. (clutch cable maybe?) I'm thinking its gonna be something stupid easy to fix.

any ideas?

sounds like your heading in the right direction, clutch master or slave cylinder. saturns are also known for the shift cable bushings wearing out.

i wouldnt look at the clutch for the problem its in the hydrolic system. master slave or the slave cylinder could be bad.. easy fix
