I called a Pontiac dealership and they told me that they have never replaced a Vibe transmission - but they said that almost all the Vibes they sell are automatics. So I called a Toyota dealership and the guy talked transmissions with me but he said he would look and see if there were any bulletins for the Matrix or Corolla manual transmissions and he said that there was not even one - but there were lots for the automatic transmission. So he really didn't have any advice to give me.

Go to the website and file a complaint. It has to be worth it in the long run. My 2004 transmission failed after 3 years and 105k miles...mostly highway. $3800 later.....

Hey,
 
I just read your comments and wanted to give you some info on my situation. I have a 08 matrix 5 speed, which is not fun to drive. My 3rd gear and reverse seems to stick sometimes, and a few months ago (around 20,000 mi) wy car started to make a single loud popping noise when I left my neighbor hood. It seem to happen more often when I just start the car, but has also happened in mid driving when I go over a bumb or turn but that is very rare. My father-in-law owns a toyota dealership (the reason I bought the car). I gave it to him to look at and they even had the regional toyota specialist look at it and they could not find out what it was. I told them to check the transmission, brakes, and motor mounts. The claimed that they did and found nothing, but it seems that if there was nothing wrong it would not make a loud ass noise. I have considered trading back in for a different car since they have no idea what it is.
 
Let me know if you ever figure it out.

03 Toyota Matrix transmission bit the dust by toyotafiasco

I appreciate all that you guys have written to warn me. As I was driving down the road besides hearing strange sounds as usual my car developed a high whining noise. I looked around to see if there were any emergency vehicles only to realize that it was coming from my car. After all I had read, I suspected what the problem might be, and sure enough within a mile it broke down. Not able to put it in 1st gear at all. It has 94,542 miles on it. Is there anyone out there who knows a good solution to this and/or who knows an attorney willing to file a class action suit on our behalf?
Much gratitude,
Toyotafiasco

another matix transmission failure by ktanner

I have a 2004 mistake Oh I mean Matrix. Transmission number 3 just failed today. I was lucky when my first clutch failed 11,000 miles, and after much discussion they fixed free of charge. After 2 failed I was not going to let Toyota touch it went to private repair shop, They told me I wouldn't have any problem with their clutch. Well one year later here I am again. I am over 50 and have been driving standards for 25 year. I also got the same story- Driver error. It might be driver error but the one error I will never make again is to buy any kind of Toyota. By the way does anyone have hub cap left on car. All Matrix around here loose their hub caps. Well I would rather replace hub cap than Clutches
