No, from talking to repair shops and a dealer about my own Saturn Ion-2, I have learned that it does in fact use an interference design.
if it is anything like my 97' Saturn Sl2. The engine must be dropped out to dismount the transmission.
the dealer do anything different when it comes to changing transmission fluid in my 2with a 2.7 engine then the quick lube guys
Anything will fit with enough modification
I think the best way to find out is to go to the nearest Saturn dealer and ask the auto department where it is located. They won't charge you for location of part.

I've got 182xxx on my 2000 SL2. No internal engine failures as of yet. I did, however, just replace the water pump and, consequently, the head gasket. For the head gasket job I rebuilt/surfaced the head and replaced the valve seals, which has lead to decrease in oil consumption. Like I said, though, the engine itself is still running strong-- the dang water pump was the main issue (which is easily replaced, by the way). I've seen SLs at the Saturn dealer in Mechanicsburg, PA with over 300k on them! You should go forever with the Saturn engine as it will outlast the accessory parts if anything.
If your engine vibrates at low rpm but seems smooth at higher RPM, then you may have a worn engine mount. The mounts have large chunks of rubber in them that absorb the vibrations. Apparently, they wear out fairly quickly, in about 5 years or so, is what I was told. It is apparently a common problem. If it is anything like my 93 Saturn, it is the upper engine mount, and it is relatively easy to replace. Ask a Saturn dealer for a quote, or if you are mechanically inclined, you can buy the mount and install yourself, working from a Haynes manual. A place to check for advice is Automotiveforums.com. Lots of helpful information and answers to lots of questions.
It most likely means that your thermostat has gone bad. The engine of your car is running too cold and you need to get a new thermostat installed.
The 1993 Saturn 1.9 is not an interferance engine, and has a chain, not a belt.
Yes it will.
exact fit fir the sohc engine is 93 or 94 only
