Radio knob missing? Can't set the clock? Glove compartment door stuck? Paint peeling? This is the place to discuss those problems and irritations that don't impact safety and operation of your Tracker.

"just keeps on tickin" by roadhappy

I have a 2000 Tracker. I bought it used about a year ago. It had 63K on then. It has now passed 100000. This is an amazing vehicle. I have kept the maintance up on it and it has preformed very good. I used it for delivery. This was up and down some 8-10 percent grades. I had the alignment checked at 100000 and it is still perfect. I have had to replace the gasket and filter on the transmission. Other than that only regular maintence. I am very happy with the little rooster.

Hi Jesse, I have a 2000 also - Automatic 2.0L. 105K miles. My transmission is not locking in park properly and fails to start sometimes until it does eventualy lock. Gear shift changes are a bit soft. I'm thinking of transmission filter and fluid change will help...what do you think?

I just had that done. I developed a leak. I noticed some spots of oil on the rear bumper, after a pretty hard run. I found out that is was the transmission pan gasket. I changed the filter and put in new fluid, changed the gasket, it was what I would call "crunchy". It fell apart when I tried to get it off.
That should help yours to do this maintence. It helped mine. I did not realize how soft the shifts were until I changed all of this. Now its like new again. Hope it works for you also. Happy Trails

No Cure for Oil Leak? by fakechevy

Hi folks.
 
I have a 2000 Tracker 4 door manual trans with the 2.0.
 
The car is a lot of fun, and has just turned 81,000 miles.
 
My problem started about 4 months ago. It seems to leak oil from where the engine and trans mate up. I pulled the trans and replaced the rear main seal. The old one did not look damaged at all, but the interior of the bellhousing was wet with oil, so I replaced every seal there, like the crank angle sensor, the trans seal and I resealed an oil passage plug.
 
Well, it still leaks oil. I was told that since when I open the oil fill cap with the car running, I feel some wind from the engine, I must have excessive blow by and that is causing the leak. However, I check compression and it was to spec and changed then PCV valve.
 
I am ready to give up on it. Any ideas?
 
Thanks

2001 Tracker power windows fuse by jschirle

Hey all..
 
I have a 2001 Tracker w/ about 60K miles.
 
My problem is with the power windows -- specifically, the fuse keeps blowing, and I keep having to replace it.
 
I took it to the dealer the 1st time, they checked everything, said it was all OK, just needed a new fuse. They said it had probably blown if, for example, 2 people had tried to roll different windows at the same time (which would have been a possibility at the time they stopped working).
 
2nd time I was alone in the car, but had just turned the AC on -- I thought that was perhaps the culprit.
 
3rd time I shut the AC off, and made certain I wasn't doing anything else -- ran the window down, and the fuse blew and I couldn't get it back up w/o changing the fuse (I now keep spares in the car).
 
Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to keep from putting a new $3 fuse into my car several times a day?
 
Thanks!
