Internal engine parts should bnen the same for 2003 Vibes, Matrixes, Voltz's, and Corollas.THe serpentine belt is not the same for all of those. The HVAC system is slightly different between Matrix and Vibe, including the AC compressor, which has a different size pulley. This means that the serpentine belt is close, but slightly different length between Vibe and Matrix. I think you would want a Vibe belt, but am not sure. I've got a 2003 Matrix and a 2003 Vibe in the driveway today, when it stops raining I'll see if I can figure out a way to tell the difference betweeen the Vibe and Matrix AC compressor pulley sizes.The other one, I don't understand. You say you have an automatic transmission, and want to replace the clutch. Usually that means the clutch between the engine and transmission in a manual transmission car, since automatic transmission cars do not have them. Are you having transmission problems, or did you mean a different part, perhaps the AC compressor clutch?

There is a difference in the AC comnpressor pulleys.The Matrix one is about 5 1/8 " diameter (~13 cm), the Vibe is about 4 1/4 " diameter (~11 cm) Those measurements are not exact, I have a hard time getting my hands down in there.There are also differences in appearance, as shwon in this pictureThe two pictures on the left side are from a matrix, the two from the right side of the picture are from a Vibe. Both 2003. You can see there is more to the AC compressor clutch on the Matrix, and the line feeding the Vibe compressor has an extra bottle thing the matrix doesn't. So I'd say compare the picture with your Voltz, see which one matches, if it matches the Matrix, buy a belt for a Matrix, if it matches the Vibe, buy a belt for a Vibe

manual transmissions use a mechanical clutch to engage/disengage the transmission, automatic transmission s use hydraulic fluid to loosely couple the engine and transmission, and to automatically shift gears. It's a bit to explain, and it might be better if you can find a local mechanic to explain it, because it can get complicated, and confused in translation.howstuffworks.com is a good reference, look through these sections thereAutomatic transmission - http://auto.howstuffworks.com/...n.htmManual Transmission - http://auto.howstuffworks.com/transmission.htmClutches - http://auto.howstuffworks.com/clutch.htm
