How about the SPRINGS are they the same? AWD is a little heavier car.

Can you mount AWD struts and springs on a FWD 2005 VIBE?? Will they fit and raise the car? Looked at the specs almost the same, AWD 1 inch more travel on the rears shocks only thing I could find. Is there anything on a AWD that is stronger than FWD that will cross fit?

DERF thanks! skid pan looks good for me. The lift looks good but unable to go that route. No PLASMA cutter and no TIG welder. Thanks for the THREAD!!! DERF.....

When you lower a VIBE you screw up the GEOMETRY. When you install different aspect ratio tires or size you screw up the GEOMETRY. Has anyone experimented and raised a VIBE? There is one RALLY VIBE did he use stock springs? does anyone make anything for a VIBE to make it TOUGHER, STRONGER? Does Toyot...

Could not find anything on lifting VIBE. Just want to raise it 1" or 2" DO NOT want BIGGER TIRES. Would like to raise suspension. Springs? Bushings? Blocks? All I see is LOWERING need to go up because of rough roads.

I will try MARK's idea of the plug fouler. Sounds like a good invention.

I do not want to rig a turd, no universal fix it right and not have to do it next year again. Trying to fit a universal Cat. under the VIBE and look right is not easy stuff Cat. hanging down under the car no heat shield. Would like to know what kind of Cat. is good? several people have bought MAGNIF...

PO420 looked at everything sensors, replaced plugs, no leaks but code returns after 30 miles going to replace CAT. There are different CAT's on the market some JUNK? and others good where do I go EBAY? ROCKAUTO? Does anybody recommend a brand or a stay away from? Exact fit please. 2005 VIBE 162,000 ...

JOATMAN thanks it does have the AOU and AU3 on the sticker. Ordered a FOB from EBAY. Thanks again JOATMAN.

Just bought a 2005 VIBE runs good looks ok. I have one problem need to buy a KEY FOB not sure if it's factory installed or dealer installed is there a way to find out? Would like to buy FOB from EBAY...

Yes it went over 222,000 miles. I just installed a 2005 MATRIX Gear Box 120,000 miles. Will I have the same bearing trouble with the 05 as 03? It took out the case and I will post pictures soon. Seems all members are scared about the bearing faliure, has TOYOTA ever solved the it????

2003 VIBE 5 Speed. I need to remove Transmission can I just remove the gearbox from transaxle or do I have to take the entire unit out.

2003 Vibe 5 Speed. Need to remove and try to rebuild Gearbox. Need a breakdown on how to remove box from car. Do I need to remove the entire unit or can I just remove the Gearbox???? Schematic would be nice and a little advice. I have the car on jack stands, removed almost all components from car. Y...

Will remove and tear Gearbox down, trying to Rebuild my gearbox before I buy. Will post as soon as I can see the damage inside. Remove Fly wheel and re-surface also change Oil seal. Have I missed anything I should do??????

Almost cheaper to buy an Automatic Transmission and convert the car to Auto.

I understand buy is cheaper than try to RE-BUILD. Can you Rebuild or is the case, forks and other stuff trash? I do not want to buy another junky box.

03 VIBE 5 speed. Transmission broken need to buy or REBUILD 234,000 miles on car. Where do I get a clutch kit and where to buy Transmission? Do I need to stay away from Ebay or what??? Can I install a 6 speed and will it perform the same as my 5 speed or are the gear ratios different......
