Transmissions are effectively the same across all years

Long block can be used across all years, but you will need to swap a few things from your old motor depending on year. There are some threads around here if you search the motor year you're swapping and the base year.

I would personally not touch a motor that has been opened by anyone since it left the factory on these cars since they are already kind of hand grenades, but your mileage my vary. I went K24 and sold my 30k-ish mile motor as a long block for $3k.

I think prices for these motors are higher than expected because they effectively only came in BRZ/FRS/86, cutting the donor pool significantly.
