this is one that threw me:
MODELYEARGEARBOXGEARSDEFINING FEATURES
LS 400 1990> A341E Reduces torque between gears for smoothness
LS 400 1995> A340E Revised gearing, more efficient torque converter
LS 400 1998> A650E Lock-up allowed in low gears, gate-type lever
the a341e is shown 1990 and up, but should read 1990 to 1994. so, my confusion. made me think both were in use in 1995 and up.

That's quite a cheap price to rebuild a transmission. I've heard figures closer to $3000. I hope they aren't "saving you a buck" by omitting things like the rear main seal, which happened to Farrah's million mile lexus and the car forever had a oil leak because of it.
Beyond this, I'm not really knowledgeable on rebuild vs. replace with a used transmission. I don't know the right answer.
