Transmission swap 05 Echo - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks guys.

I was pretty sure but I read that there were some differences between the years like mounting brackets, etc. and saw no definitive answer. I will grab one.

I know some people don't like the higher RPM's but it doesn't bother me and my commute is 100% secondary and country roads so I don't think it's going to be a problem.

It looks like it should be about 3100 RPM at 100 km/hr which, to me, is about right for a car like this.
When I was commuting into the GTA and driving the Suzuki's one of the first things I would do is to swap in a 4.39 gear from a later 3cyl. car so at about 120 km/hr I was revving ~4000RPM and I was ok with that.
