#1 of 8 1990 Tracker Shifting Problem by bigpoppa122779 Aug 27, 2008 (9:42 am)
My 90 Tracker has an auto tranny. I goes into low gears fine and pulls well, but when driving it on the highway it trys to shift into 3rd gear and there is nothing. Almost like shifting to neutral. Any suggestions appreciated. The previous owner drove it through high water and I believe that some of the water go in the tranny. Could that have burned up the fiber clutches?

I've had a similar problem with my 1994 Geo Tracker (2wd, automatic) and saw another one similar listed on here too. At first I got a new transmission cable put in and this fixed the problem for the time being – at the time I wasn't driving the car much, only like 3 miles a day with occasional weekend highway trips. Then I took a 1,000 mile trip and after that the problem came back and kept getting worse. My problem was that the car wouldn't shift out of first gears until it was warmed up. Once warmed up it was fine. At first, the car only had to be a little warm to be fine, then pretty warm, then completely warmed up, now I'm scared to drive it because it seems to get worse each time and I can't imagine what is next. Finally I took it into a locally trusted mechanic, who referred me to a locally trusted tranny guy. The tranny guy inspected and said it needs a full tranny rebuild. I took my time deciding whether or not to go with it because it's expensive, but am moving forward with it. It's estimated between $450 and $1150. Just wanted to let you know what happened with mine.   I'm wondering if this car is a keeper though. Overall, how do you like yours? Any weaknesses to warn me about?

#4 of 8 1997 Tracker Speed sensor by fastdaddy55 Dec 22, 2008 (2:57 pm)
Does anyone know where the speed sensor is located & does anyone have a used one or can point me in the right direction to get good used parts for a Tracker? Almost everything I have priced for this thing at a parts store is at least a 100 bucks. I like this rig but it's expensive to upkeep.

#6 of 8 Check Engine soon light by onwhatever Feb 16, 2009 (12:06 pm)
We have just bought a 97 that has only 35000 miles on it. We love it and it runs like a charm, but that light came on and are wondering if anyone else has had that happen to them, what turned out to be the culprit, we cked all the things suggested, but the emission stuff, don;t want to pay an arm and a leg to get it fixed.

Replying to: onwhatever (Feb 16, 2009 12:06 pm) i have a 97 geo tracker which i just bought. i love it, but three days after i bought it, it wouldn't start. i had power so i knew it wasn't a battery issue come to find out the plug for the starter sensor had come out, okay easy fix plug it back in. done fired right up, going down the road and poof service engine soon light. took it to local parts store they put it on their computer and found out that the EGR valve is shot, so perhaps you should try that....i lay odds that's its that or an oxygen sensor..good luck hope this helps
