I 98 Es with a strong engine and trans but it needs too much $ for a sticker. So now I found an 01 with a super clean body but with a dead trans. For some reason I was told I couldn't swap the trans. So my question is, can I swap both engine and trans from a 98 es to an 01 es???

Different transmission between the models so it is not a direct swap. You could try hacking the wiring but no guarantee that will work. The engines are also different electronically so that won't work either.

So the engine and trans from an 98 won't work in a 01 body???

Not without swapping the engine harness, ECU, and a bunch of other stuff. Even if you succeeded you lose the VVTi engine which has more power. Not worth it.

The swap would've been temporary until the original trans gets rebuilt.....
But if I were to get a junkyard trans, which Toyota's would have the trans and other parts I could use and how can I pin point them???

For sources on the transmission see here for other parts depends on what you're looking for.
