#24 of 33 I think it's a transmission problem but not sure-it's automatic by karona Mar 28, 2008 (5:41 am)
Hi,    I have a 99 chevy tracker soft top. Automatic trans. 96000 miles.    Problem #1: When I hit anywhere from 35 to 45 mph (exactly) it does a weird jolt/ jarring thing, like it can't quite shift gears or something. (Obviously I am not a car expert!) As soon as I go above 45, it's fine. Below 35, it's fine. Just at 35-45mph. Any ideas?    Problem# 2: when idle (like at a stoplight, sitting in traffic) it shakes a bit every once in a while. Sometimes it trembles all over, sometimes just a little kick, then nothing, then a few seconds later, a kick, then nothing. Is this a timing issue? WHen in neutral it's fine. In park it is also fine. What can I do to fix?    Thank you!! Replies to this message: arkainzeye (Apr 04, 2008 3:28 pm)

Replying to: karona (Mar 28, 2008 5:41 am) do something. when you have your #2 problem notice what the tach is doing. is the tach dipping up and down when this happens? My 99 tracker did this and i replaced the PCV valve. (very cheap to replace) and then i made sure the fuel filter was replaced and i ran Seafoam in the gas tank and cleaned the throttle plate. all easy to do. when was the last time your tracker had a tune up?

Replying to: richiemclean82 (Jun 08, 2008 2:19 pm) Hi, I don't know a lot about the transmissions, but when my Tracker broke down and I had to tow it to a garage (towed it myself), I found out that an Automatic transmission can't be towed! (Not reccommended by Chevy.) They suggest towing with the rear wheels on a dolly, so the transmission isn't turning. The reason is that the transmission is only lubricated when the engine is running. As I was told, the automatic transmission can be burned-up, towing for a long distance, as the fluid is not being circulated in it. Now, I don't know about the manual transmissions, they are probably OK to tow, but I would check with an authorized mechanic that knows more about it. (It's mentioned in my owner's manual.) Hope this helps and saves you a new transmission again. Snichol

#32 of 33 Torque Converter Locked? by thirddayjay Dec 08, 2008 (8:38 am)
I have a 2000 Chevy Tracker 4x4 with 2.0l, automatic & 95,000 miles on it. We pulled into the driveway and parked it until the next morning. When we went to use it the next day, the engine would'nt even crank over. Replaced the battery, because it was due. The engine still would not turn over. Now i'm thinking starter, but before i would replace it, i took a breaker bar to the crank pully just to make sure the engine will turn over by hand. IT WONT! I pulled the starter. Tried to turn over with breaker bar again. IT WONT! My next thought was to disconnect the flywheel from the torque converter. I CAN'T!....because crankshaft/flywheel cannot be turned over since the engine or trans is locked. I have the Tracker jacked up just to make sure the transfer case is not locked up in neutral...its fine. Has anybody ever experienced a torque converter locking up in this vehicle?
#33 of 33 Stuck in gear by beaver02 Nov 16, 2009 (9:13 am)
Can anyone help me on this? I have a 2002 Tracker 2.0 L 4x4 4 door, I pulled into my yard and the gear shifter felt like it wasn't attached to anything it just moved up and down freely. needless to say it was stuck in drive, so now I can't even start it. Has anyone else had this problem? It worked find up to yesterday. Is it attached to some type on shifting cable or something.   I'd appreciate any help I can get.   Thanks   Bruce
