As a first idea, go to: http://www.car-part.com and input the data for the car. You will see by the responses which years and models are interchangeable according to salvage yard software. These should be an easy swap. It may be possible to swap others, but they will likely require some modification.

s53 was used. you can use the celica trans from the 5s and 3s. the mr2 has the shift linkages on the wrong side and needs to have the casing modded. also the e153 can be used with a wider ratio. the 2az should even work too i think that has a s53 in it but with 3 synco's instead of 2 that the one in there?
