Not worth it. Just save up for another car.

i've done a couple myself and about to do it again on my stang. the only reason i am doing it is because the car is built for the track and the 5-spd is to inconsistent so i am going to a auto with a shift kit. if it was a daily driver i would sell it and buy what i wanted much easier and if a car is auto from the factory and now has a 5-spd it will kill its resale cause you can tell by the VIN.

A Saturn is not worth dumping any money into, especially to make it fast.

i got rid of my saturn about 6 months ago all i had was problems with it brakes battery alt windows etc and it was a 1999 that i bought brand new car sucked sorry just my opinion if you are changing it to go fast you would be better just to drive it off of a cliff
