I'm about to do this for the first time on my 2005 VIbe GT. I was really nervous about it until I saw how shagged your rear motor mount was. Thanks for the video. This is really useful!
Did this in junkyard today….only thing I’d do differnt is leave the mounts until after undoing the bolts. At the very least that bottom 14mm. There wasn’t enough room to get a socket in there between the subframe. So I had to improvise and jack up the motor/trans (managed to find the factory jack in the back, on top of a spare tire on top of wheel. Worked great! lol)…otherwise this video is a godsend! And…I’m Trying to wrap my head around how you got the rear mount bracket past the rear mount. Thanks!!!!!!
Great video; I just dropped in my rebuilt engine together with the transmission on our 04 Corolla; after securing it and torquing found couple challenges; one is the power steering pump high pressure hose from rack pinion to pump how to connect it and torque it down but the other challenge is even worst as the shifter cables bracket that goes secured to the transmission bell I left it in the cable; I did not know it was simple to release the cables from the bracket so now I found out after installing the shifter cables back that there is no space to get the hand in that tight space and bolt the 3 bolts the bracket has to the transmission bell as these are bolted from the inside of the bay between firewall and engine; tried reaching from underneath and no luck; nighttime came but my hope is tomorrow I can climb on top of the engine bay and maybe reach down from top after removing the coolant hoses; the shifter cables may be on the way but by watching you here if I can remove the cables from the bracket then maybe I can get them out of the way, secure the bracket if this is possible then reattach the cables; a street mechanic told me those cables are kind of set on the bracket in a way that it is better to remove the bracket and reattach the whole assembly but now I find myself in a dead end and I am hoping I do not have to drop the transmission just because I missed this part; the engine is already torque down on its mounts. At this point I still do not have the axles installed or anything on top of the transmission side but I remember how hard it was to separate the engine from the transmission when I took it out which is why I decided to take the transmission out and then drop the engine and transmission complete as a whole; I am just pissed off this info about the bracket is nowhere to be found as the Hynes manual sucks as far as information for us grunts and the dealer's mechanics wont share too much either of things they know are struggles; we have to find out the hard way! in any case, hope tomorrow I can work on that space and reattach everything and torque without having to drop anything radical; you got to love Toyota engineering putting those bolts facing the inside of the engine bay rather the other side towards the driver side where there is better space for maneuver the bracket, the fuckers! LOL.
If it is possible can you do a car inspection video for people who are about to buy a 2ZZ engine / Celica talk about the grinding of gears in 2nd or 3rd and if you should buy a car with these problems will these problems become greater problems
2zzlow was wondering if you could do a video Installing a C-60 Transmission I was curious on how to do it I just bought a C-60 For the Celica I have and was hoping to do a swap when the weather gets alittle warmer here were I live
Note to self dont't track run a C60 without a back up waiting in the garage. Edit: I dropped my C60 without removing the LH axle from the C60 and then used the fork to pop it out once it was on the floor. And the Exedy clutch disc I found was broken in the same place.
I wonder if leaving the knuckle attached to the strut has to do with potentially messing up the camber? I believe the holes in the strut are a tad larger than the holes in the knuckle and the bolts? I think this allows for a tiny bit of camber adjustment. I’m probably completely wrong about that. Just spitballing. Pondering going to a junkyard to do this tomorrow for practice (have to do the clutch on my xrs matrix). Might even buy the c60 ($175) but I don’t know….car looks pretty rough.
For the bottom most 14mm trans to engine bolts, did you remove that cross member piece that the forward most engine mount is bolted to to get better access? The bottom most 14mm bolt has at most a half inch between the bolt head and that crossmember and its already touching it while im unthreading it.
Judging by the gear tooth chunks you were pulling out, I'd venture a guess that the final drive broke. Those teeth look alot bigger than any from the 1-6 gearset.
I just purchased an ‘05 XRS Corolla and I think my 3rd gear is starting to go. Google lead me here, are you going to swap a Celica C60 into your Corolla? Im wondering if I can do that, or just have my trans rebuilt/which one would be easier. There’s hardly any corollas around me to rob a trans from.
So the front and rear motor mounts….are those mounted to the trans???? I didn’t think they had to come undone. Not much supporting the engine after you remove the trans? Now would be the time to do that rear mount….that thing is a royal pain to do otherwise….unless you lower the subframe which is how some guys do it. At least a royal pan in a 1zz auto. Maybe easier in a manual car?
front, rear and side transmission mounts are mounted to the transmission. the engine will be supported by the cross member so it will hold the weight of the engine perfectly fine. ABSOLUTLY the perfect time to do the rear mount since its a pain in the ass. its easier on an automatic because the shift cables are not in the way.
@@2zzlow someone (in a fb group) mentioned leaving all the mounts in the trans? I can’t wrap my head around how that’s doable in the case of the rear mount though. Seems like that be more of a headache.
@@2zzlow cool thanks. Ever use the ARP flywheel bolts? They’re a tad longer supposedly? That doesn’t cause issues? And you’re not a fan of The exedy clutch? I just bought a kit on eBay and wondering if I should send it back. (With a oe type flywheel). If anything I should send it back and just get the couch and an oem throw out bearing. I got the kit with flywheel cause mine was resurfaced early in its life and I just wanted to be prepared in case it couldn’t be resurfaced again.
I'm putting my matrix back together and there's two ground wires I don't remember where they went. One is coming off the battery's ground and the other is coming off the driver side strut tower. You know where they're suppose to be connected?
hey so i was reinstalling my transmission and for some reason the upper 14mm bolt [ of the 2 closest to the firewall ] wont go in anymore. is about halfway in and refuses to go in anymore
Make sure you don’t completely tighten all the bolts that attach the engine to the trans. Keep them a bit loose and move the trans side to side and maybe it will go in all the way. Also make sure you didn’t cross thread the bolt
Need help! My 06 Matrix trans needs replacement, cheapest local trans $1200. The car is clean, and motor runs great 189k do I keep it or get rid of it?
@@2zzlow what was the C-60 doing when you identified the weakness in it I was curious cause I just bought a C-60 for the Celica i have I was asking if I ever came across the isaue
Great video! We bought my son an 03 matrix xrs 6 speed from an auction. The clutch failed and the axle seal was leaking so it would pop out of 6th gear until we added gear oil. looks like I will be doing it myself unless I find a good deal in Atlanta. Is it possible to test make sure the tranny is OK before reinstalling it? Which clutch do you recommend? Are there any other things that should be done at this time? Thanks
its kinda hard to test it when its out of the vehicle without opening it to check those synchros. At the very least put the transmission in gear and turn the spline. Exedy 16800 is great for daily use and if you want a stiffer clutch pedal feel but wouldn't recommend it to the track. exedy kty14 is nice for daily use but has a softer clutch.
Pressure plate bolts don’t require that much torque compared to the flywheel. I’ve installed a dozen clutches already and haven’t had any come back to haunt me for torquing the pressure plate to 14ft lbs.
@@2zzlow Hey Sebastian! I installed a used JMD transmission in the matrix. I had to transfer my original shift shaft to the new tranny. After the install, My gear shifter was very tight and required more pressure to get over to fifth and sixth gear. sometimes there is a rattling sound that stops when I apply slight pressure to the clutch pedal. There is a winning sound in 6th gear and it is starting to jump out of third. Ohh.. and occasionally when shifting out of reverse, the backup chime keeps sounding and it will not shift into another gear. At first, I thought it was another bad tranny. Is it possible that I didn't install the shift shaft properly and it is causing issues? Also, the old tranny got hung up on one of the shift cables and was totally hanging on the cable for a minute or so. Could that have caused an issue? Thanks

Love how it’s the same as the mr2 spyder which is what I’m doing rn LMAO, got a 2zz too, thanks bro! Great timing I should say😂
No problem glad I can help.
Keep up the good content Dazza from Melbourne Australia
thanks fam! more to come
Wow great in depth video. Hope I never have to do it lol
It’s not that bad. Very easy
If it is possible can you do a car inspection video for people who are about to buy a 2ZZ engine / Celica talk about the grinding of gears in 2nd or 3rd and if you should buy a car with these problems will these problems become greater problems

@@2zzlow how do you remove that special clip that toyota links the shift cables to the Transmission I heard they were hard to remove
hey great video! just wondering, is the c60 the standard 6MT that comes with the xrs / ts?
Yes it is!
Note to self dont't track run a C60 without a back up waiting in the garage.

Yep, that wheel hop
Still hoping you can do a oil catch can how to video
Porta compita
I will be doing an oil catch can video for my v6 celica from the pcv. It’s the same process as a 2zz.
“This motor mount left the chat” lmaooo
the new one just checked in
How the hell did he only charge $300 for labor? Thats wild. Did he need t9 measure the thrust of 5th or 6th gear? How long did it take to rebuild it?

Yep because I was still able to go into all my gears 1-6 perfectly fine just kept hearing a loud bang every time I wanted to move forward

I have a well detailed video on converting a Celica C60 to work on a Corolla XRS. Check out my channel
Great video. I'm not looking forward to pulling my transmission out. It's an 09 xrs, I'm sure it's a little different.
Same idea you can follow it somewhat
How did you clear the bracket on the transmission over the rear motor mount I can’t get it out because of this
Unbolt the mount from the frame but leave it in place. The extra wiggle room will allow you to move it in place

@@2zzlow I actually just watched your old video and you pointed it out more clearly
*Early not clearly
Not fair how you have a crossmember holding up the engine haha, I need something to hold mine up cause I got nothing there lol
Ohh lmao 😂 yea I’m cheating with that cross member
Nice video!! Is it possible to put another transmission not the c60?
C64 and e153 which is much stronger
hey so i was reinstalling my transmission and for some reason the upper 14mm bolt [ of the 2 closest to the firewall ] wont go in anymore. is about halfway in and refuses to go in anymore
You are using the starter bolts. Switch them out if you already installed the starter
@@2zzlow sorry but I actually labeled all the bolts so they are the right bolts. The top one just seem to not want to go in. The bottom one did

Have you done engine on matrix awd ? (Auto) is the transfer case easy to remove

I have the same radiator on my xrs ;)
nice! still holding up!
At 3:22 what do you mean about wheels bounce?
Lol I meant to say wheel hop, open diff allows that to happen and will result in the gears shattering like I did on my original c60
Is this the same for 07 xr? I can’t find any info online
You can use the same procedure
