04 GT Trans Question

Post by WhgVibe »

Very general question but here goes. What's the history on the 04 GT 6 Spd Manual Trans? Problems or concerns? Looking at a used one with 99k on it. I havnt driven it yet so what do I need to look out for?

The 6 speed GT trans (C60) has no inherent problems.
Most common complaint is the clutch not lasting long but I suspect it's because of how much the 2zz engine encourages high rpm shifting (lift).

The 6 Speed C60 is very solid. Only use GL-4 Fluid in it. The clutches are normally are OK but expect to replace it before 150K.

Any suggestions on what a good price is for this Vibe. 04 GT Dark Red, Sunroof, pretty clean with 99K.
