I think there are two options, but you need to be careful with what you do! The first option would be to see if the bits on your old gearbox can be swapped over to the replacement unit. The reason you need to be careful, is any change might not work, due to minor compatibility issues. Second you need to return the replacement unit back and source the correct year gearbox for your car. 

There are a few sites like toyodiy.com or 7zap.com, that you can check the part numbers for you particular car, so you can get the correct part. You need to sign up with toyodiy.com to see the diagrams.

I am  not an expert on gearboxes, but know the hassle of getting the correct part to fit and work properly.
