Default Saturn Vue Clutch Problem

Ok, so this one makes no sense to me. I have a 2004 Vue, 57,500 miles. Everything was fine. It got chilly one night, in the 40's, and the next day the car is really hard to get into gear, both arms on the gear shift hard. No clashing of gears just really hard, till the air temp warmed up, then acted like nothing was wrong. Shifted smooth as silk. Everyday it has been like that. So, I went to Mitchell Manuals Online. Everthing I read pointed to air in the line. So, here I am trying to bleed the stupid clutch and it won't bleed. I have tried with a vacumn bleeder and with the old pedal method. Now it has no pressure and I can't drive the car. So, I need some suggestions as to how to bleed it and any ideas as to what caused all this. Thanks,

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

Default Re: Saturn Vue Clutch Problem

The only method that that seems to work is vacuum bleeding at the master cylinder fill.

With the bleed screw closed and a stopper replacing the master cylinder fill cap apply a vacuum to the reservoir and hold for 20 minutes.

REWARD EXCELLENCE!
