I know I’m reviving an old post but I wanted to share how I fixed my seep. I got onto rockauto and found that the axles listed speced out at different lengths. I ordered the longest one and it fixed the problem. There was a noticeable difference in length. I can’t remember which one it was, though. ...

I have a 2006 base and a 2003 GT which my son drives. Both are darn near pristine. Any get together coming up? I’m in Memphis.

I test drove it yesterday. No codes, no problems.

Memphis. I bought in in Arkansas. There seem to be a lot of Vibes there. No rust.

While I'm in there the lower control arms and sway bar bushings look really easy to get to. Might as well do them along with the ball joints. The struts and sway bar links have already been replaced. I really need to learn when to stop. I have no more room on the garage refrigerator for Rock Auto ma...

It's 9/16" short. That's what I think is causing my seep.

The engine and trans are Japanese Domestic Market from https://tennesseejdmmotors.com/ They are supposed to have less than 50k on them. This one looks like it came out of some kind of RH drive car. Celica maybe? The only differences I've seen so far: The shifter select lever shaft is different and w...

Cardone has nothing for me. I'm going to take a bearing support bracket off a 2zz and see if it will bolt up to a 1zz. Then I'll use a 2zz shaft.

I'm going to put a clutch in the new powerplant before I install it. It's supposed to have less than 80k km, but I don't know who was driving it and I might as well do it now just to be sure.

I have a 2003 Vibe GT. The trans is shot. It has 201k on it. The car has new struts, CV axles, etc. I was going for a junkyard trans but I found a local JDM engine and trans (6 speed) for $1800. Other than some hood and roof clearcoat paint problems, everything else works. I'll shoot the roof and ho...

I sent this question off to Cardone and will share it they answer. The above post are their specs from rockauto.

I converted my 06 base Vibe to a 6 speed and used the 5 peed axles. I now have a seep on the rh axle at the trans. New 5 speed shaft and output seal. It turns out the 6 speed axle is @ 9/16" longer. The problem is that the 6 speed has a bearing and stub shaft while the 5 speed doesn't. Does any...

How much do you want for the trans?
