Re: (star_deceiver)

Hello,In idle and N the RPM range is normal, however when the noise / vibration stars you can see the RPM needle move very very slightly only when I feel the vibration or hear the noise. The noise is Noise___Pause___Noise_____Pause. Thank you.

Re: 2009 Vibe GT strange engine vibration and sound (star_deceiver)

Hello,Do you think the torque converter is causind the vibration? I have not checked the fluid because the car is 12 month old. However I will look at it tomorrow.Can worn out fluid cause the vibration?Thank you.

Greetings,I have a 2005 Vibe which will be due for its first Oil change soon. I usually always use synthetic oil.

Re: (Mavrik)

Greetings,I understand in regards to the transmission. In regards to the badges: I would take them off the same way many do: heat up the badges area, use fishing line to take them off, then paint cleaner to dissolve the glue. Is there a better way? I mean no matter what you do you will have small su...

Re: (ragingfish)

Greetings,The issue is as fallows. I drive 50 000 K a year so the warranty will be gone in 2 years. The reason why I want a new tanny is because the car was practically delivered damaged to me. The car does not drive (can't shift up to second or down to it from third) When I brought the car to the d...

Re: Brand New 5 spd manual 2005 Vibe, transmission noise, HELP (ragingfish)

Greetings,After two days, the dealer told me the synchro gears are faulty. They said they will take apart the transmission to check it and change the synchro gears. To me this is unacceptable as it means a "rebuilt" transmission. They told me that even if they did replace the transmission ...
