Hi, I have a 2007 vibe with a 5 speed. I am buying a 2004 awd. The 07 has muddy coolant. Guessing exhaust into coolant, oil is fine.
If I decide to do a motor swap will the 04 awd motor mount into the 07 and mesh with the 5 speed? I am guessing the flywheel would be different. I just don't know if the awd has different motor mounts etc.
The 04 all wheel drive runs but seller says the transmission is bad. Might I be better off just fixing or replacing the transmission? I've heard the all wheel drive transmission and rear differential are not sturdy.
Thanks for any and all advice.
