You can use the GT Trans, you just need to get the correct clutch and flywheel to mate them up.

It's good to get the full clip for all the sensors and components as they will be different then the GT model. I've bought an engine/trans once and was lucky to get the entire wiring harness with all sensors attached, so in that instance I had everything I needed.

You can order the Service Manuals from Toyota. On the All-trac.net site they have a list of the Service Manual part numbers and a phone number you can order it from.


You have to use the 5sfe clutch disc (preferably upgraded) and the 3sgte flywheel and pressure plate.

From experience, get the clip. It'll cost some more, but in the end it will save you time and aggravation. My swap took way longer than it should mainly because of wiring and finding the parts that dont come with the engine.

If you dont have the GT tranny, look for the 3sge tranny first.
If they dont come with the engine, and most likely they wont, you'll need an ignition coil and primary wire (primary wire only sold with spark plug wires), Solenoid Resistor, Fuel Pump Relay/Resistor, Airflow Meter, ECU...
thats all i can remember off the top of my head. And thats probably at least $300 right there.
