GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hello.
I need to replace right axle shaft in My Vibe GT '03 after meeting with open hatchway on Ukrainian roads
But in Ukraine all diller of autoparts were very scared when they heared "have You *** for Pontiac *** "
I searched for long time on USA web for right axle shaft for gt, contact sellers but they offer to me axle shaft from vibe awd / fwd with 1zz.
In my view, axle shaft vich compatible with 5-speed transmission, can't be compatible with 6-speed ( C-60 ) transmission.
Help me please, where i can bought this item, or perhaps some one have exp. with changing axle shaft in GT 1-gen...

Hi konstantin,
Have you found an axle yet? Do you have any Junk Yards near you? Is your 03GT a five speed or a six speed?

Bump,
Anyone know if drive axles are interchangeable between 5 and 6 speed transmissions?

I looked them up on Autozone.com and they do have different part numbers, but then again people have replaced the base 5 speed with the 6 speed transmission and reused the same axles. The length is a bit different on them, 36-9/16" on the GT vs 36-1/16" on the base. The 1/2" difference might not be too much.

Hi Chiadog,
Vibe GT 1gen completed with toyota 2zz-ge engine, this engine compatible with 4-gears AT and 6-gears MT ( C-60 / C-64 ).
In my country ( Ukraine ), when seller hears the "Pontiac" at once says that there is nothing in here.
I can buy original axle from toyota celica gt with 2zz, but it cost 500+ $.
I belive that people from genvibe.com can help me with searching axle for my car, may someone changed it on his car.
Few mounth ago i buy used axle from vibe gt, that will be samle of axle for sellers.

Axle from 5th gears transmission in lenght is same that axle from 6th gears but thickness of the shaft was different.
5th gears MT from 1zz-ge (AWD, FWD versions of vibe) have less power (torque/h.p.), and axle was not designed for loading which creates 2zz-ge engine with c-60 transmission.
Maybe anyone can say some web-shop with details for pontiac?
