Replying to: thomas55 (Sep 24, 2008 5:08 pm) If you would like to swap the transmission from 2ZZGE (Xrs 6 sp) to your 2003 Matrix, that would be impossible, Since the 2ZZGE has different casing configuration,. You better replace the whole engine with transmission If you can find one.
#239 of 358 09 Matrix still having tranny issues? by poy Oct 08, 2008 (11:19 am)
Hey everybody - Spent tons of time yesterday reading about the 5-speed manual C59 transmission/bearing problems in the Matrixes of a few years ago. I started to get scared about buying a new 09 Matrix S 5-speed manual. Should I be?   I read that they started using better bearings in 05 and later. There were so many posts, but they were all from 03-05 owners, and of course the problem starts showing up about now in 09, after a few years driving it. Anyone know what the current situation is?

Replying to: poy (Oct 08, 2008 11:19 am) As a rule I buy cars only in the last year or two of a generation. Thus my '81, '85 and '88 Accords (still have the '88) have been excellent. My '06 Matrix has been trouble free (except for the lousy Continental tires). Consider getting an '07 low mileage Matrix instead.
#241 of 358 Transmission prob! by weiom Oct 20, 2008 (12:53 pm)
Throw me in! Same thing   2003 XR 5 speed manual transmission blew at 87k...drove around with some grinding, took it to the dealer, they said my transmission was screwed. i wanted a second opinion, so drove it to a mechanic that same day, and it was crackling the whole way over on 1st, 2nd gear, less on 3rd, and a little on 4th, and it lasted like this for like thirty minutes, before a high whistling sound became a little permanent, and then the absolute end: a higher whistling sound that made me stop as i rolled to the side on neutral. after that, couldn't put it in gear, nothing..had it towed to the mechanic, transmission's gone.   we need to complain about this to TOYOYA! trying to look for a japanese replacement....dealer had estimated costs at 3,500   email me: weiomhotmail.com Replies to this message: gnash (Oct 20, 2008 7:06 pm) canonlaw (Oct 31, 2008 4:48 pm) gnash (Dec 03, 2008 11:33 am)
#242 of 358 2003 5sp manual Matrix ... 105,000 miles by gnash Oct 20, 2008 (7:06 pm)
Replying to: weiom (Oct 20, 2008 12:53 pm) I have the same problem. I found a rebuilt online for $700 and bought it. I've scoured the web looking for a shop manual or a description of removal/installation procedures. The guy I bought it from said it was a relatively easy home job. Anybody have info on how to go about this job? Thanks. Replies to this message: canonlaw (Oct 31, 2008 4:48 pm) gnash (Dec 03, 2008 11:33 am)

Replying to: gnash (Oct 20, 2008 7:06 pm) If you email me I can email you the official service manual in PDF. It might have what you need. It tells you how to take apart the transmission and repair it, so it should probably be good enough.   zebwainwrightATgmail.com Replies to this message: gnash (Dec 03, 2008 11:33 am)

Replying to: firtree (Oct 31, 2008 2:25 pm) As far as I know, the problem is only the manual. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT get the manual, but I would get the AUTO, which is the only option on the AWD model. Also, the Vibe should be the same. No real problems with the auto trans there.   I say go for it, as long as there are all the service records, or it comes with some sort of a warranty.
