Nine-solenoid kit for the Toyota A760E and AB60E that restores shift timing and line pressure on 4Runner, Tundra, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser and Lexus.
If your Lexus IS350, GS350, LS430 or SC430, or a six-speed Tundra or Land Cruiser, has started to flare between gears, bang into a gear, hang in one ratio or light the check engine lamp with solenoid performance codes, the valve body solenoids are one of the first places a shop looks. This kit is a full set of nine shift, pressure and lockup solenoids for the Aisin-built A760E six-speed and its family members, the A761E, A960E, AB60E and AB60F. It is the budget-friendly way to renew every solenoid in one pan drop instead of buying them one at a time.
These transmissions have no throttle cable or governor. The engine and transmission computer reads input and output shaft speed, picks the gear and then energizes the solenoids to make it happen. The on/off solenoids (S1 through S4 and SR) move the shift valves that choose the gear. The linear solenoids meter how hard each clutch applies during the shift, set line pressure (SLT) and control converter lockup. An unusual detail documented by Sonnax: on the A761, AB60 and A960, the on/off solenoids are fed regulated line pressure straight from the manual valve with no feed orifice, which is part of why their performance faults are so common and so easy to misread.
A performance code means the computer saw the wrong gear ratio for the gear it commanded. A slipping clutch can set the exact same code as a sticking solenoid, so a road test with a scan tool that shows commanded gear and actual ratio comes first. Toyota's own trouble-area list for P2714 also includes a blocked valve body and worn clutches, not just the solenoid. If you do not have a factory-level tool, our guide to testing solenoids without a factory scan tool walks through circuit checks at the case connector. When P2714 shows up together with other solenoid codes, put a gauge on the line pressure tap first; our line pressure testing guide explains why low pressure can make good solenoids look bad.
The listing covers 2004-2020 Toyota and Lexus applications, depending on the model, and names the 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Tacoma, Tundra and Land Cruiser plus Lexus GS350, GX460, GX470, IS250, IS350, LS430, LX570, RC300, RC350 and SC430. Not every one of those trucks has a six-speed: many Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser and GX470 models use the five-speed A750E or A750F, which carries seven solenoids instead of nine. The simplest check is to drop the pan and count the solenoids on your valve body. If you find seven, order the A750E seven-piece solenoid kit instead. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN before ordering. You can browse every related part in our Aisin transmission collection.
If the pan is full of friction material or metal, the solenoids are a symptom, not the cause. In that case a master rebuild kit is the right next step.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Only if your transmission is one of the six-speed units. Most Tacoma and 4Runner trucks of that era use the five-speed A750E or A750F, which has seven solenoids. Count the solenoids on your valve body or send us your VIN and we will confirm which kit you need.
Not always. These are performance codes, which set when the computer sees the wrong gear ratio. A slipping clutch or low line pressure can trigger them with healthy solenoids, so verify commanded gear against actual ratio and check line pressure before replacing parts.
The solenoids share the same fluid, heat and mileage. Once one is varnished or worn, the others are usually close behind, and the labor to drop the pan is the same whether you change one or nine.
Toyota WS (World Standard) ATF. Do not substitute a generic multi-vehicle fluid, and set the level with the overflow-plug check procedure at operating temperature.
Yes. Clear the codes and reset the transmission adaptive values with a capable scan tool, then drive normally through several cycles so the computer can relearn clutch fill times with the new solenoids.
