In-pan filter and pan gasket for the Toyota U760E six-speed automatic in Camry, Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Venza and Scion tC fluid service.
The U760E is the six-speed automatic Toyota paired with its four-cylinder engines, and it is in a lot of driveways: 2010-2017 Camry, 2013-2018 RAV4, four-cylinder Highlander and Venza, and the 2011-2016 Scion tC. When one of these starts buzzing through the floor at light throttle, hesitates going into Drive, or bangs into a gear, the sensible first repair is a pan-off service. This kit supplies the in-pan filter and the pan gasket, cross-referenced to 044-0398 and Toyota numbers 35330-73010 and 35330-0R010.
Aisin built the U760E as the four-cylinder sibling of the V6 U660E, and Gears magazine dates its arrival to 2010 for those applications. Like its big brother it is a transaxle with one shared sump for the gearbox and differential, a valve body run by linear solenoids, and a torque converter clutch that the TCM holds in deliberate slip at cruise. The filter is the only thing between that sump and the pump inlet. Every clutch apply, every lockup command and the cooler flow all start downstream of it. When the media loads up with wear debris, the pump has to pull harder, aerates the fluid and cannot hold line pressure steady, and the slip-controlled lockup shows it first.
On high-mileage units these complaints can also come from worn valve body bores or tired solenoids, so a correct service is how you separate a maintenance problem from a repair.
Drive it and recreate the complaint. If a shudder goes away when you pull the shifter into Manual 3, the converter clutch apply is the circuit involved, and fluid condition is the first suspect. Next check level and condition properly. There is no dipstick: Toyota sets the level at the overflow plug with fluid at 185 to 194 degrees F, read on a scan tool. Our U660E and U760E service guide covers the full sequence. If solenoid codes or a shift fault stays after the service, the U760E solenoid kit is the usual next part.
The listing covers 2010-2017 Toyota Camry, 2009-2019 Highlander, 2013-2018 RAV4, 2011-2012 Sienna, 2009-2015 Venza and 2011-2016 Scion tC with the U760E. Several of these models were also sold with a V6 and the U660E, which uses a different filter, so check which transaxle you have before ordering. The safest way is to match the number on your old filter to 044-0398, 35330-73010 or 35330-0R010, or send us the year and VIN and we will confirm it. V6 owners want the U660E filter and pan gasket kit instead. For other parts for this family, see the U660E/U760E collection.
Toyota bulletin T-SB-0036-13 covers the U760E as well as the U660E for this level procedure, including the overflow and refill plug torque. Our fluid type and capacity guide explains why a single drain only replaces part of the fluid and how spacing two or three services renews most of it. If a correct service does not settle the shifts, a U760E shift kit addresses the valve body wear behind many harsh-shift complaints.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. V6 models use the U660E and a different filter. This kit is for the four-cylinder U760E. Match your old filter to 044-0398, 35330-73010 or 35330-0R010, or send us your year and VIN.
Toyota Genuine ATF WS, part number 00289-ATFWS. Toyota's level-adjustment bulletin for the U760E lists WS only.
It varies with how long the car sat and how level it is. Measure what drains, put that amount back, then set the final level at the overflow plug with the fluid at 185 to 194 degrees F.
It fixes many of them, because degraded fluid is the most common cause of the light-throttle lockup shudder. If the shudder remains after a correct WS service, the valve body or the converter is next.
Yes. It includes the transmission filter and the pan gasket. Fluid is sold separately.
