Needing help w Swap c59 to c60 manual tranny

Post by Trix04 »

Hi y’all, I’m a new bee here, need ing some help.
I have a 2004 matrix base 1zzfe w c59 manual tranny which is essentially a base model vibe. My tranny went kaput on me and It’s hard to find the replacement for it. Has anybody done swap c59 to c60 on these 1zzfe engines? If you have, what are needed other than tranny itself to keep it safe. I have read some authors said that the axle is 1/4 “ shorter when swap is done.
Pleas help me y’all,
Thanks in advance from Nashville TN

I can't help much since i have auto but I found this previous post that might help: viewtopic.php?t=45291

I know it is a 2009 and you have an 04 matrix but it could provide some insight or clarify some questions. I would definately recommend using the search tool to aid in your quest.
