question 1: door jam
question 2: um yes.
note the 92 and 95 ES300 transmissions are slightly different.

a good search of the forum here should yeild some good threads, but heres a bone.

so if i read correctly
the axles off of the 92 will not fit on the 1995?
thats a bummer!!!

and what is the difference between the transmissions?

anyone?

The part numbers are different for sure. I don't know exactly what is different between the transmissions, but either way you can't mix n match the axles between years. Here are the exact production dates that you can use.

7/1991-7/1993
8/1993-7/1996

edit - to clarify, it doesn't mean you can't put the '92 tranny in your car, it's a matter of how far you are willing to go. You might have to start retrograding suspension components, mounts etc. The actual unibody is the same so it is ultimately possible, but worth it? Not sure.

Yes the manual swap has been done . I will be swapping my es to manual soon.
