Re: 2004 GT Clutch replaced

EXEDY KTY14 OEM Replacement Clutch Kit

I bought it on Amazon for $107, free shipping.

Seems fine so far, but I do not hot rod around. The local parts houses all want to sell a High performance (More $$) for the GT.

2004 GT Clutch replaced

Had the clutch replaced last month. 116k miles, car had 86k when I bought it. Bought the exedy OEM kit off of amazon ($100) and had a local mechanic install it for $450. Pays to shop around, quotes from $1200 to $450 (my parts). Just not up to doing it myself. I am an old grandpa, who drives like an...

Re: Vibe low beam out: is it the same bulb as headlight bulb?

There is only the one bulb. Do the smart thing and change them both at the same time even if you stick to the stock bulbs. I learned this the hard way. My 2007 ate them so regular that I kept extras in the car. The 2004 seems better for some reason. H4 type, I bought them at walmart or ebay.

Your price difference for premium gas?

Premium (93 octane) runs about 50 cents a gallon more than regular (87) here in TX. I was wondering what the difference is in some other parts of the country.

Re: READ THIS b4 timing chain tensioner job on a 2ZZ

Need to make this a sticky or something. I just went through this myself. Did not see your post until after the point of no return. Horrible feeling when I discovered I could not get the timing chain tensioner out, or put it back in. Jacked the motor up and finally got the o-ring and tensioner repla...

Re: new to me 04 GT

Thanks everybody. One of the reasons I jumped on it was how good the interior was. No tears, stains, or wear. Extremely good shape. Only issue was the previous owner was a smoker. Took forever to get the smell out. Best way found was sprinkling baking soda all over the mats and seats, then left it s...

new to me 04 GT

Picked up a 2004 Vibe GT with 86k miles awhile back. Saw it sitting in a used car lot in Tyler Tx. Super clean. Made him an offer he didn't like. Watched it sit for a few weeks, went back an got it for $6300. He wanted $8650 originally. I think the 6-speed manual turns a lot of people away. And it w...
