Dear Greg,
I think I have the answer for you.
There is one common part to the clutch and the starter, both work the flywheel. ( This part may go by another name.)
The flywheel is between the engine and the transmission.
The flywheel has a ring gear on the outside edge that the starter engages when it is activated, and the clutch disc rubs against the same part on the rear, or should I say on the transmission side of the engine/transmission assembly.
Repairing all this will require the removal of the engine.
However, please be prepared that the cost to fix this may be astronomical, since the problem as to why the clutch got hot might be a problem with the engine, the transmission, or both.
God bless your efforts.

If it is a 2.2 Auto it has a VT25E Trans,A really bad experiment from G.M.There is no dipstick.The only way to check it per service is to remove the center part of the main drain plug while running in park,if fluid drains or trickles out they say it's full.You probally have other Issues inside the trans.Check your mileage they have a special coverage period for this Trans through Saturn Dealer!! They May cover it or do a partial coverage for you.Hope this helps

about $200 in parts,,,you can not do this at home,,,,,you need special tools to press yoke on and off and even then sometimes they bend,,,not a easy job,,,,,,i am a master tech and worked at saturn for 8 years and i hated doing these
