make sure you measure the lenght of the trannsmissoins so you will know if you need a longer or shorter driveshaft.

ok. do you know of a good website to get all the micalanious parts? i know craigslist is a good one

a good salvage yard.. or your local toyota junk hoarder guy that has about a dozen yota lying around in his yard... but wont sell a one of them.. you see ppl like that no mater what state you are in.

i would suggjest to get a digtial camera and take as many pics as possible so you can always go back and compare...

check you parts manual books too

Is there no progress on this swap? Should it be any more difficult than a transmission swap on, say...a Miata?! A manual transmission, driveshaft, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, slave and master cylinder and pedal...and a shifter? Bolt everything to spec, wire in a clutch/neutral safety for the park sensor and wire in the reverse light?

I looked under the hood of an 02 and the firewall doesn't appear to be drilled through for the master cylinder but shouldn't be too difficult.
