well.. the 2.2 bellhousing on the trans has a different bolt pattern so you will need the 2.4 specific trans.

and congrats on making the decision to move up to the LD9. you wont be disappointed.

get the 00+ 5 speed tranny... you'll have to do the mount swap, but the getrag is a way better trans

you're going to need the engine (with all accessories), trans, trans mounts and shift linkage (if swapping from 95-99 trans to 00+), engine mounts, computer(s), engine bay wiring harness, and some other misc. goodies.
