SC400:auto to auto swap
well my lex has been sitting for months. and i tracked down a ls400 tranny(on the cheap.) the car had 250,000 mi

i wound up getting
-a apparently rebuilt tranny(30,mi)
-a ls400 mAF
-A SMALLER almost new battery
-ls400 front brake caps
-and both the cats
for $80.00
the bad thing is i had to pull them from the car. it was a rough day as i never worked on a lex before. i would had took pics but too hot and tired.
now i got the tranny cleaned up(it was sweating some fluid) so i tightened down some bolts and the sweating stopped.

i didn't have a fsm but i used my rb oil pan as a loose reference as to the bolt removal and installitaion pattern

the last person to work on this skimped on a gasket and used a **** ton of (gasket maker). and the pan still sweated fluid
http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/SL732245.jpg
so bolted back up and waiting to go into the car
