LS400 used parts source?
are there any junkyards that you guys go to that usually have ls400's? I messed up my neutral start switch and have to find another one. I can't believe that they are 100-200 for a switch when I paid 300 for the car.

thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it.
Car-part.com doesn't have the exact listing for the neutral switch. I called and they told me to search for transmissions and call whatever comes up. That was a wasted hour or two. The neutral safety switch goes for 150+. I can't justify that since whole transmissions pop up on craigslist for $200-400ish. The midwest is hit or miss with Toyota/Lexus parts. It's either feast or famine. |

I gave you the carpart link just so you can find a JY in your area. Try looking at Ebay for "Neutral safety switch Lexus LS400", There's 33 of them that come up for different prices ranging from $50-$300. (new and used) I don't know what year your car is b/c you didn't list it so I couldn't give you the link for the one you need. If a new one is $300 then paying half that for a used one is decent, especially when you need it to get your car started. Or, you can always try bypassing it, but then it will start in any position. |

Well, if all you need is the switch, and not the whole tranny, then the price of the switch IS justifiable.

On ebay I was searching for just the LS400, I didn't know that the part was interchangable from different models: http://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/l...540-50010.html |
how exactly did you mess up your NSS?
|
rushing pulling the engine/transmission. It binded right on that spot and broke the connector on the transmission. Luckily the harness side coming from the ecu of it is perfectly fine.

Makes sense. I am more pissed at myself than anything else. If it's not raining on thursday, I will try to bypass it and go from there for a quick fix.
