Hey everyone,

I have a 2005 Lexus LS 430 and unfortunately, the transmission needs to be replaced. I'm considering replacing it with a transmission from a 2003 Lexus LS 430. Does anyone know if the transmissions between these model years are compatible? I've heard they're quite similar, but I want to make sure before proceeding with the replacement.

I appreciate any help or insights you all can provide. Thanks in advance!

Your A761e is a 6 speed.
I doubt an A650a (5 speed) will play nice with a 2005 ECU.

You have to match it by vin, this is my personal experience taking these cars apart and working on them. There is 01-04 models 03-05 and 03-06. They are in theory "the same car" but wiring harness, connectors, full pumps and some other parts are different between the models.

a 2003 trans will not work in a 2005 car
