Are you planning on replacing anything else while it's out?

Clutch and flywheel? If yes. You're going to need to get new flywheel bolts. You shouldn't use the ones you're taking out.

Only a direct bolt up if the C60 came from a Corolla XRS, Matrix XRS or Vibe GT. The celica one will work, but you'll need to modify it slightly. MWR sells the kit you'll need to make a Celica one work. I've swapped a 5speed into my Corolla XRS as a temporary fix in the past. It literally bolts righ...

All I use are OEM filters.

I've had bad luck in the past with other filters leaking through the seal. Never an issue with Toyota filters

Good luck! Keep us posted.

I'm surprised no one else had an opinion on this

I post all my photos using photobucket on all the forums I belong to and have never had an issue. It takes care of it all. Just copy and paste the image link and you're all good

Use photobucket. It's the easiest

Also keep in mind 1/4 turn could mean a lot. Think of how much you turn the torque wrench when going from 35lbs to say 50lbs. Not much at all.

Maybe someone else can chime in as well. Thats what my thoughts were just reading your original post.

Hmmm. Doesn't sound like you've done much wrong. I've done a tranny swap on my 2ZZ four times and a the clutch and flywheel a few times. I'd honestly take it back apart and have a closer look at everything. First thing is the slave and push rod should not be that difficult to align. Try popping the ...

First time reading this thread. And all i have to say is WOW!!! Glad to hear you're not letting the dealer get away with this. Too many people think they can pull a fast one and the victim won't follow up on it! Hope everything works out for you. And I sure hope the dealer gets enough bad publicity ...

Just swing by any rim and tire shop. They'll have what you need there. Probably cost ya around $20-$30 to replace them all.

The 5 spd will rev lower on the highway. Trust me. I've had one in my car and actually got better gas economy than the 6spd

Great way to lower lift on a 05+ GT or XRS.

All you'll need is this:

The doors are known for corrosion on speaker leads. I'm almost 100% certain that's your problem. Take it apart and have a look. you could clip the wire harness and just hard wire the speakers in and use heat shrinks to eliminate any other corrosion issues. You may want to use a bit of non conductive...

I have read other places that this is a problem with some of the manual 5 speeds at around 120k or more mi. Most have fixed it by putting the guts in a 6-speed housing. For some reason some of the 5 speed housing are having problems, not a recall or anything just what other owners have said. I have...

Not a 100% sure about the base matrix/corolla/vibe. But I know the 03-04 XRS won't work on the 05+ XRS cause of the air injection tubes

Thanks but I've already bought a C60 out of a vibe and it's already in the car.

And I sold the C60 out of the celica to my brother. So no big deal.

I have a C59 Transmission out of a 2005 Corolla with less than 40,000km's on it for sale. Had this in my XRS for the past 5000km's and ran MT-90 in it while it was in my car. No issues with it what so ever. Shifts very smooth, all sycros seem to be in excellent shape, no noises from it at all and wh...

So I'm able to sell this Celica C60 to my brother and I also found another C60 out of a Vibe locally.

I'll pick up the other tranny after the long weekend and finish up the project through out the week.

Fingers crossed. There should be a 6spd back in my baby by the end of next week.

^ My thoughts exactly!

But I just wanted to double check before putting the 5 spd back in for now.

Thanks

Keep the comments coming please

So some of you might already know. Long story short. I'm running a C59 5spd in my XRS. I was able to get a good deal on a used C60 out of a celica. I though I might have been able to just swap the shifter leaver over and it would bolt right up. But no! It looks like I have to swap the entire middle ...

NIce looking car.

Are your headlights just open?

Nice Truck!

Looks like you've already put her to good use.

Thanks Guys.

I've tried to keep the exterior as simple as possible. I tend to lean towards the Clean and Simple look.

^Thx

My car sits in my garage unless I'm out driving her. I do however drive it in the winter, but I also have a company van that I use majority of the time. So my car actually gets taken out when it's nice out.

Thanks guys.

Looking forward to getting to know the community

I might be interested in the working C60 with LSD.

Please PM me once you decide if you're selling it. It all depends on shipping as well.

Thanks
