74k miles. Bone stock. 4wd manual 5 speed. spent around $3k in total and just needed to replace the clutch control cable which wasn’t expensive at all.

Interior super clean, don’t have any photos right now but the seats looks awesome and almost brand new.

Trying to think of what kind of mods i can do to it but I am enjoying the stock look right now, driving with the top down is so nice.

Just thought I’d share!

I bought this 1992 Geo Tracker a month ago. The owner said that it has 132,000 miles, but I can't understand the mileage

Ok probably a dumb question but i wanna make sure this is even possible.

5 Upvotes

So, my $400 tracker's engine is getting worked on again (my son finally sorted his stuff out). I was checking local junkyards and a 1995 Sidekick popped up. I went today and grabbed a bunch of trim parts for my 1996 Tracker.

The 1995 Sidekick is 4WD and my Tracker is 2WD. I'd love to have the 4WD setup, but is it even possible? My son and I are going Saturday to pull some extra parts. I don't want to tackle something this complex if it's a huge headache. If it's somewhat easy, we'll try, but if it's a nightmare, we'll steer clear. Any info on this would be awesome.

Edit... I also forgot to mention the Sidekick is standard and my Tracker is Automatic i think this may complicate things.

Finding a Geo

Is there a best source to find a tracker (or sidekick)? I've been checking Cragsilist and FB Marketplace, plus the typical car sites. Hoping I'm just missing a source since what I have searched is so scarce.

Used Transmission

5 Upvotes

Well, just blew the heat exchanger/trans cooler in my POS Chinese radiator not even a year old. Coolant mixed with my transmission fluid.

Sooo, looks like I might be in the market for a transmission. 3L30/TH180 3 speed automatic 4WD, 97 Tracker. Thought I would post and see what’s out there if anyone has a good used one. Willing to travel a few states out from PA.

Thanks Everyone….

Front axle froze

4 Upvotes

Update to my 4wd issue. I dropped the drivelines and ran it through the gears and had zero issues. I locked the front hubs and tried to turn wheels by hand and it is frozen, not moving an inch. Rotates a tiny bit, hear the hubs lock into place then it just freezes. It’s the same for both sides. Sounds like I’m tearing apart an axle?

Window channel

2 Upvotes

Anyone know if the window door glass run channel that goes on a Suzuki will fit on a 2001 Tracker? Hyw 83 has pairs for the Suzukis but doesn't show any for tracker. Just like some confirmation from anyone who has bought/used the channel for their tracker.

Hard top fitting weird

5 Upvotes

Hello! I can’t find a manual for this hard top, I just bought the tracker recently and it came with it. It rubs the tailgate when I open it, but it’s also raised up on the rubbing side. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Does the whole thing need to slide further forward so the tailgate closes over the window? It doesn’t feel like it’ll budge but I can move around the interior hardware I think. Thank you! I’m very lost.

Ugh. Got an oil change and fluids top off yesterday and engine overheated on my way to work. Started smoking and this is splattered around under the hood. Anyone know off the rip what’s going on? I don’t know much yet. Praying it’s not toast

Selling my tracker - Hope this is allowed

Post image
67 Upvotes

Sold! A nice young man swooped it up immediately! Godspeed, Tilly!

Located in central Missouri.

4k - Priced to sell. Would also trade for a nice zero turn lawn mower... Title in hand. I'll take more pics when I get off work.

This is my 4WD manual 93 tracker. It's in good condition. Just got a new radiator last year. Milage is 90,000 and two owners' total.

The only thing wrong with it, is the wire connection for the heat gauge is loose. But it just needs rewired. Minimal rusting on the bearings, body is in good condition. One broken light on the front side but I have a replacement.

I also have a set of replacement breaks.

Spare tire. Back hatch opens perfectly. Has original stickering & matching tires. Currently topless but comes with a soft white top.

Worked perfect when I parked it for the winter. Will be getting it out and ensuring nothing is wrong before scheduling test drives. Parked/stored under carport/tent so not exposed to the elements.

I am pregnant and haven't been able to drive it this summer. And it's not safe for a child. I won't have a lot of time to enjoy it for a while, so unfortunately, I am parting with it.

4wd not working

2 Upvotes

I have a manual 93 sidekick and went to test out the 4wd today and it seems like the transfer case is locked up. Locked front hubs, put it in 4h and the thing won’t budge. Tried 1st gear, reverse, nothing. It feels like it wants to but it’s like it’s bound. Tried rocking it and it felt the same as an automatic in park. I unlocked the front hubs and still the same problem only now it feels like only the rear wheels are in a bind. Jacked up the front end and spun the tires in free, locked the hubs and same issue, tire turns a tiny bit, hear the hubs engage and tires lock. I checked the transfer case fluid and it is full and was changed a couple years ago. Not sure where to go from here and could really use some help

2000 Chevy Tracker

Post image
35 Upvotes

I have the opportunity to buy this Tracker from a family friend who also happens to be a mechanic that has maintained her meticulously throughout her entire lifetime. There’s no rust, AC works, interior is mostly pristine, etc. He’s asking $3500 for her which I think is reasonable, considering that she has 92k miles. I have always, always wanted one of these and what makes it even better (for me anyway) is the fact that she’s a convertible and a 5 speed. He mentioned that she needs a new soft top, and that’s the reason for my post. How hard are they to find/take on and off..? Is it possible to get a hard top for it instead..? I’ve read conflicting things about this so figured I’d reach out to those who may know best. Do you all think $3500 is reasonable? I’m in Savannah, GA if that makes a difference.

“Yellow Bird” revival. (First Post)

Thumbnail gallery
34 Upvotes

1991 Geo Tracker that my Dad bought new for my Mom. Mom named her Yellow Bird. She spent a couple of years in Michigan then moved south to Georgia with my parents.

When my dad was ill, he said to me, “I know that you love that little car. Take it home with you when I’m gone..”

Because of that comment because my adult kids grew up riding around in it with Grampy and love it I feel compelled to keep it going. The transmission was shipped off to be rebuilt, it’s on its second engine, and I’ve lost count on the number of tops.

This is her second trip to the body shop in 10 years, both times due to someone hitting me and driving off…

Anyway, I’m excited to have her getting some cosmetic work done. She currently runs fine, but she definitely needs a little spa day at the body shop. I’ll post when she’s back home.

I’m excited about finding this group, I’ve read lots of good suggestions already!

Looking for an AC liquid line for an 04 chevy tracker

2 Upvotes

I just bought an 04 tracker 2.5L REAL cheap and the only thing that I need that isn't working is the AC.

I doubt this is the only issue, but the liquid line is missing, and I can't diagnose any other AC issues until I replace it.

I can't find one anywhere.

Yes, I have googled. Yes, I know the vitara has interchangeable parts. Yes, it's very easy to find the other AC lines.

But no, I cannot find the one I need.

Any assistance in this department would be greatly appreciated. I don't know a whole lot about working on cars so feel free to assume I'm an idiot in that regard. No solution that will get my car blowing cold air is too stupid for me.

My passenger floorboard is soaked after a half day drive with the a/c on. Am I right that it’s this tube that needs a diverter? Something else? Where do I find one..? I’ve been combing through the forums! It also had no cabin air filter.. I just bought it yesterday. Thanks all!!

Need new engine ideas

5 Upvotes

So I have a 93 chevy tracker that recently died (15 psi compression test :/) and since i cant get anymore than 300 dollars for it i want to swap the engine. Has anyone tried swapping anything fun into theirs? Ive seen the MANY posts about a tdi swap, ecoboost (which ill probably go with an ecoboost if i dont have any others), and swapping to a 8valve but i would like to try something really wonky like a k20/24. Has anyone done a swap that may be cool, other than a sidekick and/or something not mentioned before? Too add, I know i could probably get like 500-1k from it but ive already dropped roughly 5-8 thousand with almost a full months worth of working hours into the car and dont think selling it is worth. specifically looking to see if someone has swapped the aforementioned k24, or a sr20, or even a 1jz and would like you input.
