It seems these parts have been discontinued. Can anybody confirm that the Toyota Matrix part will work?

Thank you!

Yes, I can confirm the Toyota Matrix part will work. The suspension and driveline parts for the two cars are identical.

Thank you so much. I assume the rear pinion seal that we now have to replace is the same. Toyota part is the only one available.

Good afternoon. Thank you for sharing this post. Could either of you please confirm the part numbers for the rear transfer case seal for a 2009 Pontiac Vibe AWD 2.4L 4 speed automatic? The terminology between GM and Toyota is slightly different. I am not a mechanic.

Are these part numbers correct?
GM Part: GM 88974583 Seal,Transfer Case Rear Extension
https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-s ... &filter=()

Toyota Part: Part Number: 9031138090 SEAL, TYPE T OIL (FOR TRANSFER EXTENSION HOUSING)
https://www.toyotatownpartsdirect.com/p ... 38090.html

Or could it be This Toyota Part Number: 9031155002 SEAL, OIL (FOR TRANSFER CASE)
https://www.toyotatownpartsdirect.com/p ... 16822/9031
