Tranny swap 5 to 6 questions.

Post by 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?

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.
