It's doable, but not really feasible. Especially for a car as old as that and which doesn't have any particular collector's value. You'd be sinking a lot more money into it than it's worth.
Down the tube that holds trans dipstick.
You might check your vehicle speed sensor. My 1997 Tracer is acting up along the same lines.
the transmission has to be spit apart in order to change the trans filter.

Ok I wont go into the details, but you have to remove the transmission . Then you must remove the tork converter and just behind it is the frount trans seal. You just pry it out with a screw driver and the new one will pop in with a small hammer. It cost about say 8 dollors fot the seal it is all the work involved in removing the trans is where all the work comes in.

from what i can tell this is very common in the tracer. this exact problem drove me up the wall until someone changed the firing order of the spark plug wires........and the problem seemingly went away for over 2 years. now it's back, and that's the first place I'm investigating to fix the problem.
