Excellent photo shots and information, can't go wrong if listed steps followed. I have 2ZR-FE engine but have not checked to see if above procedure is applicable to the 2ZR-FE engine, will post back when confirmed.

Good guide changed mine today man. Only issue I had was the filler bolt was a 17 and the drain bolt was a 15/16 socket

Did you replace the oil with a synthetic? A long time ago I used Mobil synthetic for a 1981 Toyota small truck with the 2.4 engine,last of the carbureted models. I put synthetic in the gear box,the diff' and the engine.The difference was immediate. Easier, faster starting at all temperatures, and the gear changes were improved as well. One thing not expected was when backing off the gas' pedal how much longer the truck took to coast to a slower speed.The drain plug had a built in magnet and when I first saw how much metal was on it I was concerned,..come to find out that it was normal for such an accumulation from the gear-box.Acceleration was marginally improved and the same with the fuel economy.Since then I've been a believer in synthetic oils..."Boomer"...
