Avensis T25 Facelift vs Prefacelift mechanically advice

[ricryan]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and just have a question. Sorry if its a stupid one but I recently bought a 2007 facelift Avensis estate 1.8 petrol and there is a rattle from the gearbox.

Had it confirmed from my local garage it's a bearing and now in the midst of trying to get the dealer to pay for the repair/replacement under Consumer rights act. 

I just wanted to know if I was to get a second hand gearbox from a breakers, is the prefacelift Avensis (2003-2006) the same mechanically as the facelift one (2006-2009) that I have so if I bought a gearbox from any avensis 1.8 pre or post facelift etc it wouldn't make any difference or is there slight differences with stuff like mounting holes and brackets etc?

 

Thanks

the model of the avensis its not the same shape 2003 to 2008 same shape. 2009 = different car.

Yeah sorry I was just going buy the dates wikipedia had listed as being the T25 model.

Basically I just mean the t25 type Avensis anyway
