This kind of goes hand in hand with low fluid, except you might be more likely to spot a leak than to get under the hood and check the levels. If your transmission fluid is lower than it should be, it’s time to empty out the remains, and give it the ol’ redo. Your transmission shouldn’t lose fluid easily, but over time it can, especially if a leak occurs. Low fluid levels might be a sign of needing new fluid. So that further adds to the possibility of misinterpretation.When do you need to change Transmission Fluid?Ī real no-brainer here. Also remember that some people call a 5 speed a "standard transmission". Since "a 3 speed auto was optional" (or the like) is nowhere in the paragraph, then one could assume that an auto was not an option. I mean really, "DOHC engine" and "14" wheels"?! Those are quite obvious mistakes that anyone who is writing about the year to year changes should know is incorrect. I guess I was just basing my assumptions on what they were meaning by how inaccurate some of the other information was. Then it is written -poorly and can be interpreted two different ways, in which I evidently interpreted it the wrong way. Last Edit: Thursday, Dec 10, 2009, 05:18 AM by t0nKaTrAcKeR.Indeed another typo as it should read 15 inch Indeed JX models were the only 4x4 convertible models in 1995 and JS models were the only 2WD In 1994 a tilt-wheel came standard in all Sidekicks prior to that it was only available as an option on the JLX models, another first for 1994 was Standard Cruise on JLX models This one is actually a mistake it should say a 16valve (which is SOHC) not DOHC The above statement does not say that all four doors had the 5-speed, it mearly says that the 5-speed was standard (The auto was an option in 1991, it is just not worded clearly. All trackicks had 15" wheels/tires, unless they were Sidekick Sports and all of them had 16" wheels/tires. I have never heard of 14" tires/wheels ever being a factory option on trackicks. Only if they were 4wd (which is probably what the "JX" designates.but the way the statement reads it's kinda misleading). Some of the 2 doors had the 95HP (1.6, 16V) engine. I had an 89 2 door sidekick that had it, and my 92 4 door sidekick has it. Never happened.Ī tilt steering column was available long before '94. Some had the 3 speed auto tranny (the only year that you could get a 3 speed auto tranny in a 4 door trackick).Ī dual-overhead camshaft engine? Uh, no. While all 4 door models did have the 1.6, 8V 80HP engine, they did not all have 5 speed trannys. Quote from: R/T – on Wednesday, Dec 09, 2009, 12:42 PM Automatic-locking front hubs were standard on the Sport JLX other models had manual-locking hubs.ġ998 Suzuki Sidekick: No changes were made for '98 in anticipation of an all-new '99 Sidekick, which would be called the Vitara. Four-wheel antilock brakes that worked in both 2WD and 4WD joined the option list.ġ997 Suzuki Sidekick: A new price-leader 2-wheel-drive JX Sport wagon joined the lineup. Offered in JX and JLX trim, Sport models had a longer nose, fender flares, 2-tone paint, 16-inch tires (instead of 14s), and a wider stance. All other Sidekicks held the 95-horsepower engine. The new Sidekick Sport got a more potent engine: a 1.8-liter, making 120 horsepower. All two-doors gained a new convertible top with zip-out plastic side windows.ġ996 Suzuki Sidekick: Sidekicks added dual airbags in 1996, with 4-wheel antilock braking a new option. A 4-speed automatic transmission now was installed in 4-door models as an option, but the 3-speed unit hung on for 4WD 2-doors.ġ993 Suzuki Sidekick: Except for a few trim changes, Sidekicks showed no appreciable change for 1993.ġ994 Suzuki Sidekick: Sidekicks gained an antitheft alarm, tilt steering column, and center high-mounted stoplamp.ġ995 Suzuki Sidekick: Two-door JX convertibles got the 95-horsepower engine this year. A 2-wheel-drive JS 4-door arrived during the 1992 model year. Equipped with 4-wheel drive and new automatic-locking front hubs, 4-door Sidekicks came in JX or top-line JLX trim. The midlevel JL 4WD convertible was dropped, leaving only two 2-door models, with the 80-horsepower engine. A 2-place folding rear seat was standard on the JLX and optional on the JX.ġ992 Suzuki Sidekick: Four-door Sidekicks earned a power boost, adopting a 95-horsepower engine with dual-overhead camshafts. All 4-door models used the 80-horsepower engine with a standard 5-speed manual gearbox, on-demand 4-wheel drive, and new antilock rear brakes. Four-door Sidekicks came in base JX and upscale JLX trim. Riding a wheelbase 11 inches longer than the 2-door's, bodies measured 16 inches longer overall. 1991 Suzuki Sidekick: A 4-door hardtop Sidekick arrived in '91, joining the soft-top 2-door models.
