push your 1jz swap to now. New tranny and new engine. It would be weird more work replacing your transmission now and then have to upgrade it when you get your 1jz.

Is your tranny fluid level low? Is it dark colored and smell burned? If yes on both of those either add fluid if it is low or flush the trnasmission. Depending on the mileage of your car that could help or hurt it. If you have over 120,000 that might be a issue. Try to flush it and you might get lucky. If that doesn't help and makes it worse you might as well buy another tranny. The price of rebuilding one is not worth it. There are some yards around herer that are selling some for cheap. Also is the Tampa Bay area craigslist there was 2 that I saw.
