Why Buy a Used Lexus Transmission from Auto Power Source
Lexus has run more transmission generations inside the same model name than almost any brand — the LS400 four-speed, the LS430 five- then six-speed, the LS460 eight-speed and the LS500 ten-speed; the RX300 four-speed, RX330 five-speed, RX350 six-speed and the current eight-speed; and a hybrid eCVT alongside every one of them. The same badge and year can carry a RWD or AWD unit with a different transfer output, and the IS, ES, GS, LX and SC all have mid-year build splits that Lexus quotes by month. Every product on this page is titled by drivetrain, gear count, body style and build date where Lexus made one. Our 456 verified Lexus transmissions cover the whole run: the U660E in the RX350 and ES350, the A960E in the IS and GS, the AA80E in the LS460 and F cars, the A760E and A761E in the LS430, GS430, SC430 and GX460, the A340E and A650E of the 1990s LS, SC and GS, the U151E, U140E and A541E of the RX300, RX330 and ES300, the hybrid eCVT in every h model, the AB60F and A750F in the LX and GX, and the current eight-speed in the RX, ES and NX.
Every Lexus transmission we sell has been pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit goes through our six-step inspection — VIN-matching against the donor and against your vehicle, Shift-Testing through every gear under load, noise verification, full visual inspection of case, pan and bellhousing, multi-angle photography for your approval, and palletized freight. Eight-speed units get a valve-body and solenoid check under load, hybrid eCVT units get a motor-generator and inverter-connector inspection, and AWD units have the transfer output inspected. Rejected units never reach the buyer.
You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for the same Lexus engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and have 30 days from delivery to return for any reason — no restocking fees. The warranty printed on the listing — with extended coverage up to 3 years available — covers you if anything goes wrong after install. Across 100K+ engines and transmissions in stock, we hold a 0% fitment-related return rate.
