I have the set of gears you are after already installed in the bell housing. I do not want to take the gears out because they were installed at the Toyota factory the way Toyota wanted.
If I sell you just the gears I don't know if the guy you have will install them properly.
THEY CAN'T JUST BOLT THEM there is a proper way to do it or they will where out prematurely.
So you can make me an offer on the entire thing.(bell housing with gears inside no transmission)

I took this entire transmission out of my personal everyday car when the 5th gear broke.
So I know there a good working set of gears (old but good).

This kind of gears usually out last the car there in if there is oil on them.

If you want just the gears perhaps another member has a set. I am only willing to sell the entire assembly.(bell housing with gears inside no transmission)

What do you think is a fair price including freight.

Yes you will need to (glue) the transmission and bell housing back together with non hardening gasket material.
Read this post the last portion of it is relevant to the job you need to do. SEE THE SPECIAL NOTE.

occasionally the differential ring and pinion just give up and get trashed like yours, thought it is not common. I have seen diff get trashed more often because someone put the wrong ratio in after a repair. The front and rear must match and some idiot interchangeability guides show all the years Tercel4wd trans are interchangeable, but they are not without swapping out the front or rear diff to make the ratios match. If you mismatch the front and rear diff ratio than you will either trash the front or rear diff or trash the transmission.

So you need to verify the diff ratio in the rear just to be safe before you get the car together. You have to jack up the car and put chalk marks on the wheel and drive shaft and turn the shaft by hand and count how many times it takes to turn the shaft to get one full revolution of the wheel. It will be either 3.73:1 or 4.1:1, so count carefully. You can also go ten revolutions of the wheel just to make sure you get etiher 37 or 41 turns of the shaft.

You need a differential in the car because when you go around a turn the outside wheel and the inside wheel have to make different size turns, so the outside wheel moves faster. the diff allows the axles to "differentiate" the speed of the inside and outside wheel/axle.

If the shop is correct and the transmission is still good.
And the set of gears in the rear of the car is 4.1 (they likely are)
It would be smart to double check as Petros suggested.
Then I think you should have everything you need to put the car back together.
