So it'll be a double swap for me: 1NZ>2ZR & Auto>Man.

I had a couple questions that weren't quite clear from reading the thread:

1. ABS / Speed signal - Will I need to move over ABS from the XD to get the right speed signals to the ECM? The Yaris has no ABS.

2. Axles - If I'm swapping to the XD trans, I assume I can reuse the Yaris axles?

Thanks!
To answer questions #2: technically yes, but I had binding issues on the front left axle, it turned out to be too long with the new engine. I solved this by using a '98 tercel axle which was an inch shorter but the splines all matches up.

Looks like this is a relatively easy part to get, thanks for the insight!

I also did more research on the speedo sensor: The C50 on the XD can have a speed sensor added, meaning I wouldn't need to move over the ABS just to have a speed signal!

The only other question is if the driven gear for the speed sensor is already installed or not. I'm planning to open up the donor transmission anyways for inspections so here's to hoping it's already in place.

I noticed that the OP says RH and LH mounts. However, if keeping the transmission, shouldn't the Yaris transmission mount work?

Also is the RH mount different for auto and manual?


Another thing...anyone know how to contact Armstrong? Seems like all the links are dead and all of his pages are gone.
