I would really love to do it in the 4 years I am overseas. I have already done it in a 90 240sx. I understand the concept and what is involved. There are a lot of Toyota's that are 5 speeds in the UK and junkyards for that matter. My question is besides the Matrix what else are compatible and for what years. I have 4 years to mess with it and I am bringing it back to the states, so I will have it for awhile. I appreciate who can help me.

When the engines came out:1997 - 1.8 L (1794 cc) 1ZZ1999-2006 - 1.8 L (1796 cc) 2ZZ2000 - 1.6 L (1598 cc) 3ZZ2000 - 1.4 L (1398 cc) 4ZZThese vehicles all had the 1ZZ-FE:Toyota Corolla CE/LE/SChevrolet PrizmPontiac VibeToyota Celica GTToyota Matrix XRToyota AvensisToyota OpaToyota WishLotus EliseThe 1ZZ-FED:Toyota CorollaToyota Celica GTToyota MR2 SpyderToyota Wish 1.8The 2ZZ-GE:Toyota Celica SS-II (Japan, 187 hp/190 PS)Toyota Celica GT-S (USA, 180 hp)Toyota Celica 190/T-Sport (UK, 189 hp)Toyota Corolla Sportivo (Australia, 189 hp (141 kW)/180 Nm)Toyota Corolla TS (Europe, (189 hp/192 PS)Toyota Corolla Compressor (Europe, 222 hp/225 PS)Toyota Corolla XRS (USA, 164/170 hp)Toyota Corolla Fielder Z Aero Tourer (Japan, 187 hp/190 PS)Toyota Corolla Runx Z Aero Tourer (Japan, 187 hp/190 PS)Toyota Corolla RunX RSi (South Africa, 141kw/180nm)Toyota Matrix XRS (USA, 164-180 hp)[4]Pontiac Vibe GT (USA, 164-180 hp)Lotus Elise (North America/UK, 190 hp)[7]Lotus Exige (US/UK, 190 hp NA & 243 hp supercharged)[8][9]Lotus 2-Eleven (US/UK, supercharged, 252 hp)The 1.6L 3ZZ-FE:Toyota Corolla (Europe, 109 hp)The 1.4L 4ZZ-FE:Toyota CorollaToyota AurisToyota RunX 140The transmissions from these should bolt right up. Try hunting down a 6 speed too!!!

in Vibes (and likely other toyota quality vehicles) 2003 was a bad year for 5 speed reliability, so avoid that year. I currently have an 04 corolla 5 speed in my 03 vibe

It was done on newcelica.org or 9thgencorolla with parts needed, pics and maybe a half assed write up.. good place to check for sure. So funny story kinda.. so mm 2 years ago I bought a MS3, it was my only car, first stick. So then last year it was totaled and I got a cobalt SS turbo which is also a stick..then this winter I got a ford escape as my DD and winter driver. So Im driving my escape home from work Friday and all of a sudden I day dream about a clutch. I approach a stop sign and my left foot goes pumping air and my hand is trying to shift into N hahha then I laughed at myself (my escape is obviously a automatic). Remembered I was in the escape then did it again!! man what a sign of missing a manual gear box.. If you have the time and are able to get the parts do it. I LOVE driving stick, but I will admit in rush hour its a pain.

So something from this would work?http://www.daautoparts.co.uk/p...02638Or this..?http://www.daautoparts.co.uk/p...hicle

In theory, they'll both bolt right up being the zz series engine. That being said, I have no idea about the differences in body design, clutch/flywheel specs, ECU/PCM, RHD Corolla vs. LHD Vibe, what will bolt up directly and what will need careful pummeling with the sledge hammer....Either way, it will make for one hell of a thread here when you decide to bite the bullet and put some fun back into your car!Automatics:
