Good observation.

Now that I look at it again, it has a built in electric motor (see copper wiring near the front)...which would suggest it is the one used in the LS 600h.

look at all models that use the same motor as your car does. if your not able to find anything then broaden your search to other V8 models. I found that the 2gen GS430 allows me to use many of the same aftermarket parts on my car that dont exist. Same goes for the camber arms...Just have to take a chance and try it out. This is what I have done with many things and if it doesnt work you can sell on here or ebay.

600hl has a computer controlled transmission. i forgot exactly the details, but it's a 8 speed (iirc) and the computer controlled the exact shifting so it acts like a cvt to drivers

Okay so it turns out I mistakenly posted pics earlier of the LS600h transmission. Here is the 8-speed transmission used in the LS460 and GS460.

The ls600h tranny looks bullet PROOF. That's also a huge tranny but the regular ls460 tranny is pretty small.
