Tranny swap 5 to 6 questions.

[JoshPie]

Well, the tranny on my 5 speed 03 matrix base model crapped out.

I've looked all over here and a couple other sites and MOST say it's a direct swap over. But I believe I read here where one person mentioned the CV axels being different. What's the general consensus.

So, other than that, new clutch, new 6 speed (from an 07) the rest is direct bolt up to my understanding?

direct swap. you can reuse the CV axles.

What car has a 6-speed in 2007?
The 6-speed that fits the Vibe/Matrix/Corolla is the C60. If you've got a C65 from an MR2, you might be in for some trouble.

Hi y’all,I’m a new bee here. I have been reading the postings, but never posted once. I actually have the same questions as the above authors.
I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix base model ( the same as vibe 1 zzfe w c59/ manual tranny),105k miles. My tranny went kaput on me, started w loosing reverse gear first, now only got the 1st alone lol. So, the replacement is very scarce, if any, it will be 200k miles or more on it, therefore I look for c60 jdm replacement. My worry is like everybody else, needing a modification on it.
I saw denvervibe did it back in 2017, but I couldn’t contact him/her. I just like to know if anybody has done it here, and what else are needed beside the tranny it self??.
I really appreciate y’all,
Thanks

No other changes are need other than the transmission, and the shift knob if you want to make sure you know which gears yours in LOL.
