5-speed Auto Trans for Celsior 1989/90

Hi there,
Is it possible to get a 5-speed automatic gearbox for the 1989/90 Celsiors that are so common ?? I think the 5-speed auto trans was installed only from about 1997 onwards or so ... any ideas ???
Plus, how can this be done, if possible, and how much would it cost ?? I have a feeling the gearbox swap should be possible since the later model Celsiors (1997-2001) came with the same 1UZ-FE 4 litre Quad Cam V8 with the 5-speed automatic transmission.
My friend and I are not very technically sound, so we would anyway have to take it to a garage or Lexus / Toyota service centre to have this done. We feel the 5-speed auto may improve the fuel efficiency too.
Would the dashboard transmission indicators need to be changed since this 5-speed has an extra gear ?? If so, what needs to be done, how and where, and how much approx ???
Oh boy ... so many questions ...
