Title: Tranny Problems
Post by: Gilski169 on July 23, 2011, 05:13:51 PM

Hey everyone,

I got a 2003 Chevy tracker and having problems with the tranny.  1st, 2nd, 3rd gears make a bad grinding noise.  4th gear works and sounds perfect but it slips out of 5th gear while cruising.  I was told my tranny is taking a shit.  I have a tranny out of a 93 Geo tracker and was curious if it is compatible with the newer style tracker.  I was just wondering if the tranny is going bad and should attempt to get it rebuilt or just buy a new or used one and swap it in.  I was really hoping to hit up the dunes a few more times this summer.  Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you'll find that the 03 uses a hydraulic clutch setup while the 93 uses a cable clutch. You may be able to use the internals, the cases appear pretty similar otherwise.
