Lets talk about one of the coolest and fastest personal luxury coupes made. The Lexus SC was in production from 1991 to 2010, called the ”Jewel” of their lineup. Having a front engine rear wheel drive setup, it’s smart to call a transmission specialist if you want to buy a Lexus SC transmission for sale at an affordable cost. GotTransmissions will get it right the first time, call right now. 866-320-1182.
The first generation had a long run, made from 1991 to 2000. [SC 300, SC 400], also called the Toyota Soarer. Only using a total of three transmissions, here is the list, then a discussion:
4-speed automatic Type Type A341E
5-speed automatic from 1998-00 SC 400 Type A650E
5-speed manual from 1992-97 SC 300
There is only one more generation of said car, made from 2001 to 2010. Switching to one V8 engine only, two automatic transmission were offered. One was offered from 2002 to 2005, a 5 speed automatic overdrive transmission, and an update was made in 2006 to a 6 speed automatic overdrive transmission, all come with a lock up torque converter.
The six speed model used in this car is called an A761E, all transmission with the ”A” letter in front are made by Aisn-Warner. The ”E” means it is fully electronic, controlled by a complex computer system. Using input sensors mounted in critical areas on the chassis and engine, real time signals are transferred to the computer to command the transmission to give the most efficient shift for the immediate driving conditions.
The SC is a rear wheel drive setup, as I mentioned earlier. Conventional it is not, but that is not important. The basic design is conventional in theory. The engine is mounted up front and the rear differential is in the back, a driveshaft connects them. That is where the difference between a conventional RWD and Lexus Rear wheel drive setup ends.
Let me recommend buying a replacement transmission from a company that has the same ideas on quality and value the owner of a Lexus SC has. Buying a replacement rebuilt transmission is a big expense and commitment, getting the best value is of prime importance.
