AWD Matrix/Vibe Transmission, Transfer Case, CV Axle Removal TIPS and TRICKS. Don’t make my MISTAKES

AWD Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe transmission, transfer case, and CV axle removal & replacement. Watch this so you don’t make all the mistakes I did doing this “blind” without a guide. The common Haynes manual on the Corolla/Matrix/Vibe does not cover AWD models specifically.
This video is on a 1st gen Matrix/Vibe (2003-2008), including the part numbers below. The 2nd gen (2009-2013), while similar, is not specifically covered and could be different.
PARTS:
Transfer case right side seal: 90311-36006 (OEM Toyota) | 710954 (National Oil Seals)
VVTi solenoid seal/o-ring: G1917-32010 (OEM Toyota)

Dude...very impressive video. Thanks for making and posting! Love to see the AWD Matrix/Vibe content

[@BrenoAutoGarage]

Thank you for the comment! These AWD models don’t get much attention, but they are nice for what they are. AWD without going to a Subaru or German brand car.

Awesome video, thank you! About how long did it take you to do it?

Got a question, my driveshaft connected to the transfer case seal is leaking oil between them two, and also has some play. When I’m going about 40mph or at a steady pace with my foot on the pedal sometimes I hear and can slightly feel a rattling noise and I believe it’s the driveshaft transfer case? What could be some possible issues? 09 toyota matrix awd 2.4L 161k miles.
