There is a junk yard that has a 2001 Tracker. It's called Pierce Auto parts. 800-762-2951. I got the tires & alum rims off it. Heavy front end damage, seats were gone.

Thanks, Chris. I've replaced the PCV valve, & put in the Seafoam. Put synthetic in the rear axle. The thing that bugs me now is it clunks when I put it gear, it's an automatic. Doesn't do it every time & it doesn't make any diff if it's hot or cold. Mostly in drive, rarely in reverse. New plugs did pick up 1mpg, number 2 wasn't any fun. Thanks

What weight of rear diff oil did you use for the rear axle? Im just wondering why you are getting that clunk. One thing that came to mind was "maybe" a broken mount of some sort. either engine or trany? btw how many miles do you have on it and was the automatic trany fluid AND filter ever changed. i did mine on both my trackers... The fluid is very very easy to change! its got a drain plug....

Ihave a 98 Tracker and I just replaced the transmission because of a bad 2nd gear Sycro.
Now the 5th gear in the trans I bought out of a wrecking yard is geared lower without a dought,, any thoughts? The RPM's went up about 700 70 mph

I used 80w-90 in the rear axle, the clunk was there before I changed the oil. Talked to a guy in TX, said that it was normal & he had two Trackers. I did check the mounts & the U-joints. Changed the trans fluid & filter, then changed the fluid again. Just to make sure, plus it's easy with that drain plug. I'm used to having trans fluid all over the place, love the smell of trans fluid in the morning. I have 79,000 miles on it now. Getting 25 mpg, & getting better?? Did you call that junk yard? It's on the west side of Ohio, near Richmond, IN. I think thay have several Trackers. Dog hair in my keyboard, he's a good dog .

This timing belt thing seems kind of common. It happened to me too. How many timing chains have to break and ruin engines before Chevy starts to pay us all for our troubles.

My '01 2.0L manual has also started to develop an intermittent idle problem where it refuses to maintain its normal 750 rpm and falls towards zero although the engine hasn't died yet. It also always starts fine, cold or hot. It's becoming more frequent.No check engine light either in my case.
Sure would like to know the answer.

My 00' 2.0L Tracker is doing the same thing but my check engine light is coming on. I have to reset it by unhooking the battery from time to time! My mechanic told me that it's an "idle air control sensor" and that they run around $140 It idles rough especially when the AC is on but other than that it runs fine. I'm going to replace the sensor soon though because he said eventually it will start dying on me. Hope this helps.
