This price was for doing a very complete and thorough swap, so I'm pretty sure it included the rear end, as well as a clutch. That misc. bullshit adds up, though.
As far as rear ends go, I THINK the auto rears are the same on NA and TT cars, which are fairly stout, and should be enough for decent power levels, however the ratios are surely different.
The reason i was wondering if the A/T is the same from the engine back on the NA or the TT models is cause i know with the NA-T's the 5sp can only take around 450hp~ (someone correct me if i'm wrong). I don't know about how well the A/T holds up on the NA-T's but i'm aware of some fast A/T Supra's (i feel its safe to assume they are 2JZ-GTE's based on those amazing 1/4 miles times for a stock-trim car). If that's the case then A/T rear-end is stronger than the 5sp rear-end, which seems weird to me!
You're quote of around $10k for the complete swap sounds right, especially according to:
