So i finally got my transmission in and took her for a ride for about a 1/2hour just riding around. Not sure if its me but it doesnt pick up as fast as it did with the sc tranny. btw. i have a ls400 tranny,which should be that same transmission.

its ten times easier and cheaper to just swap in a identical tranny.

Im sure finances had everything to do with it.

as far as i remember.. one has a has a taller first gear.

Correct me if im wrong but that means you didnt get the exact same transmission

ie:
92 sc400 transmission part#
35000-24280

92 LS400 transmission part numbers#
35000-50013
35000-50040 CALIFORNIA SPEC (08/1992 - 12/1993)
35000-50070 (08/1992 - 09/1994)

there are differences.. im just not sure 110% what they all are
Edit:
Searched and what i can find is :different valve bodies, torque converter, 1st gear ratio.
the LS400 came with a 341e, a340e and even a 5spd a650e
so depending on which one you got installed now, you could have a few different things going on

i think your right soarer, the ls400 i think has different gear ratios.

I would expect the LS400 to have taller gearing due to the nature of the car wanting longer smooth shifting

+1...........i would have loved to but didnt have the money.

It definatly feel less aggresive.....................

found this from a couple years ago. pretty much confirms the different gear ratio theory

Thank for the good info. Wish i would have gotten this info before i did the swap. I have made up my mind to do a 1jz 5speed swap. Just tring to get my $ right.
