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.
