I have 93 Geo tracker 4wd I think 1.6L 8V with 5 speed.
lot problem
4wd for those hub that have spring that keep thingy out 4wd but that spring is gone and cause engage 4wd all time until I found why I am keep fill gas than normal. What cause spring gone? I have manual book it didn't show complete diagram. I am avoid buy new hub for $80.
see my hub page. but if you are missing parts, find a wrecking yard.
Then change all gear oil in front axle, rear axle, transfer case, and transmission.
Transmission was fine when we change oil. It have 80w90 oil costal. Now it hard to shift in 1 or 2 or R but need push clutch then release then push clutch it shift ok. could be bad syncro? REverse ? id do not understand that , you are not moving in reverse, so if it grinds the clutch IS BAD,
Distributor= dizzy.:
It leak oil on dist I am think it o-ring is leak. I am afraid to remove dist then can't start because timing on dist is messy. How hard to timing dist?
easy or hard i can be.
steps: easy: ( my extra steps allow for a regression path.... importante
1 set crank to TDC (pointer on crank points to 0 on cam belt cover)
2: dizzy cap off. make sure rotor is pointing to #1 spark wire front , (rotor must align with cap terminal #1)
if not?, rotate crank one more revolution 360deg. landing on TDC 0 again.
3: Rotor at #1 wire , FOR SURE. proceed. Now mark the rotor position on the top edge of the dizzy aluminum rim of dizzy base.
3b: now mark the dizzy base bolt, i use a scribe for marks or center punch, and mark the center line of the bolt to the edge of the mount lip base.
4: remove DIZZY and rear head mount , replace both O-rings. (mount to head, dizzy to mount)
5: put back mount with new o ring, do not over tighten the bolts see my torque page !! it's aluminum !
6; put 1 teaspoon of engine oil in dizzy hole . (FSM says so , do it)
7: insert dizzy with rotor on , cap off into hole , (it has a gear)
8 drop the dizzy in the hole and anticipate the rotor progression and have pointer land in the old location marked in step 3.
repeat step 8 , until you have the rotor aligned as it was before.
this works on all Dizzy cars with gears.
during all the above, hide keys and do not move the crankshaft.
or you will have to read my timing page.
its all there.
Now I am worry about timing belt I am sure it never replace. It have 90,300 miles. What I need do? I been check and it seem big job since it require me remove valve cover I do not want. I just want replace belt and tension then you done.
sorry I can go there, no one does that. it is not a fan belt, it must be tensioned exactly.
see my t-belt page.
Last one. I am get worry more about rust on that geo tracker. Is there way to stop rust grow on that frame. Will rustolem primer that stop rust good?
Eastwood dot com. they do antique car restoration materials
What good for highway mph? I try 70 mph it at 4,000 rpm I do not feel comfy drive for 4 hour and 300 miles with that. Is 60-65 mph better?
