gordesky1 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 to day my mom and dad came home from delivering papers and told me the tranny is going. my mom said after about hour and 30mins it started too rev like it was in N gear when she push on the gas. it was doing it all mornining they said. than they came home from papers. and she told me they gona leave it sit and cool down for about 2hrs. me and my mom took it for a test drive and it was driveing pretty good shifting gears right on and everything and has alots of power going up hils. if the tranny was going whouldint it be jerking and whouldint have power going up hill? we kept going around the block about 5 too 8 times up hills and it was fine. my dad said when he felt the tranny or by it was pretty hot when it was doing it for them doing papers. if it was overheating whould that cause theses problems? edit wish we could get out of theses papers it kill Vehicals. this little tracker goes threw hell everyday:( it gots 150,000miles not shure if the tranny is the same. but what do you think it could be?

lilbill08 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Papers? Go get it looked at, it's not worth being 100 miles from home and your transmission falls out all over the freeway. You can get a free quote somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Signman Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Check the transmission fluid level.....it may be too low. Also, how long has it been since the transmission fluid and filter has been changed? A stopped up filter will do the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites
dog_soldier Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 have you checked the fluid? if it has a clutch maybe its going out or may be low on fluid for the clutch. not sure about the tracker but the brake fluid also is for the clutch. just a thought. good luck Link to post Share on other sites

Lou Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well if its full try adding a quart of Trans-X to it see if that helps. If still not good go ahead and change fluid and filter (screen), as you want have much to lose at that point. Also check make sure line to radiator is not crushed not allowing fluid to cool. Changing fluid and filter not to difficult but very dirty job, all parts and fluid less than $50 - $40. After all that and still no good consider replacing it as trans overhaul walking in off street $1000.00 - $1500.00 and with 150,000 miles like throwing good money after bad. Just sell it as is for whatever you can get. Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 well we aint selling the truck its a good truck. but we geting a tranny for it for ony 300$ 65k miles they concider it new. and someone puting it in for about 170$. so thats alot better than geting another problem car. we ony put like the fuel filter in and this. this will be the 2nd part we put in it sence we had it. that is like 5yrs ago. and this truck goes too hell and back so i think its worth it. its pretty denpenable. and it allways passs inspections.

theoldgardener Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Give Lucas Oil for Transmissions, a try---several mechanics use it to get older tranny's shifting again.. Do Not change the oil in that old tranny-- change the filter, but put the old oil back in it, unless it is burned (black) ... Hope this helps http://www.lucasoil.com/index.sd Link to post Share on other sites
