Re: 07 vibe with engine rattle

Does it sound like marbles in a can? My bet it is the Serpentine Belt tensioner, pretty easy to replace I have done it twice on my 2003 Vibe

OIL LEAK? Timing-Chain-Tensioner-ORing-Replacement

This is a very common problem and I just did it. I only replaced the O- Ring. If you have an oil leak and cant figure out where it is start with this fix. Super easy repair, just did it in like 15 minutes I was done. Two GM Dealers in Kamloops BC , Smith Chevrolet Cadillac Ltd and Zimmer Wheaton, on...

2003 Swapped in a 6speed , replaced the 5 speed

i have a 2003 Vibe and my Buddy has a 2003 Matrix XR.His 5speed tranny died and I suggested he replace it with a 6 speed. The 6 speeds are easier to get used and they do not suffer the problems the 5speeds did.The swap went without a hitch, did not have to change a thing just bolted right in, only t...

Re: Swap in a 6sp for a 5sp 2003? (joatmon)

Thing is I just cant see my self paying money for a piece of crap 5sp again. The 6 speeds do not have the same bearing issues as the 5sp. Would rather be driving it than busted down with a big repair bill again

Re: (northvibe)

Yes it the Famous bearing problem. The 6 speeds do not have this bearing issue. So going with a 6speed!Found out the Matrix and Vibe trannys are direct fit .6-speed manual transmission from a 2003-2008 Vibe or Matrix will work in a car that had 5speed.The transmission will bolt up to any 1ZZ or 2ZZ ...

Re: Refinish Restorer - For all the Plastic Cladding its amazing! (K-NINE)

No streaking after rain. No waterspots....rain beads up like the surface is waxed. The difference between RR and Armor All-type products.... it won't streak down your paint, it is not washed off by the rain or car wash, and it lasts a LOT longer!

Made it look new. Its goes...
