jjmancini Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hey Everyone! LS400 1990 White 227,000 I have some problems with my transmission. So I want to look around at junk yards and see if I can get a new one. Thus, these are my questions.: 1) What other years and model transmissions can I use for my vehicle? 2) What should I be cautious of? 3) Are there othe essential parts that I should switch out when I swith my transmission? (Questions #1 is most important) Thanks Everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sha4000 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 90-94 should work for you and while you have it out have a transmission specialist check it out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmancini Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 90-94 only LS? or would an ES work as well? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jqzhang Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 LS400s are all rear-wheel drive; ES300s are front W.D. The former has a V-8 engine with displacement of 4.0 (about 3960cc); and latter 3.0 liter. They are completely diff. I am not sure if a 94 tranny can fit but 91 will for sure. I have to check the tranny model numbers. I'd like to recommend a new tranny (or a re-built one) if the rest of you car in good condition because trannies are not like body parts: you cannot see by looking at it if the owner(s) of the car had taken good care of it. Hope this helps, and good luck. John Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmancini Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 How much should I expect to pay for a rebuilt tranny? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
