AB60E Clutch Module, new and ready to install. Fits the AB60E. Ships fast from the USA.
When a 5.7L Tundra or Sequoia starts slipping on the highway with a load behind it, takes a beat to engage after sitting, or drops flakes of lining onto the pan magnet, the six-speed AB60E (AB60F in four-wheel-drive trucks) has worn its friction plates. This listing is a new Alto USA high-energy friction clutch kit made for the Toyota AB60. It is the friction side of a rebuild: the photo shows the full set of lined plates, and it does not include steels, seals, gaskets or a filter.
Aisin calls this unit the TB-68LS, a heavier version of the A761E built for V8 torque. It has no bands. Six forward speeds and Reverse come from four rotating clutches, C1 through C4, and four holding brakes, B1 through B4, and every one of them clamps a stack of lined frictions against steel plates. C1 is the forward clutch and carries the truck in the first four gears, C2 is the direct clutch that takes over for fourth through sixth, and the brakes hold planetary members for second, sixth and Reverse. Shifts are timed by the transmission computer through linear solenoids. As linings wear, each pack needs more oil and more time to lock, so the computer sees slip it cannot correct, and a heavy truck with a trailer finds that weakness first.
Sonnax points out that in the A761, AB60 and A960 family a slipping clutch can set the same solenoid performance code as a stuck solenoid, so a code alone does not prove which one failed. GEARS Magazine documented a 2007 Tundra with an AB60F that set P2714 and P0766, had no fifth or sixth, and turned out to have a burnt C-2 clutch on teardown. Check the fluid level at the correct temperature first, read commanded versus actual gear on a road test, and take line pressure readings before condemning the clutches. Our Aisin slipping under load guide walks through that sequence, and Aisin harsh or delayed shifts covers complaints that come from the valve body instead. Heavy debris in the pan means the case comes apart and this kit is the right scope.
The kit is listed for the Toyota AB60E and AB60F. Toyota used this transmission behind the 5.7L V8 in the 2007-and-later Tundra and 2008-and-later Sequoia, and the AB60 family also went into the Land Cruiser and Lexus LX 570. The E and F versions share their clutch layout, but read the ID tag on the case before you order and confirm it says AB60E or AB60F. If you cannot read the tag, send us your year and VIN and we will check the application. All of our AB60 parts are on the Aisin transmission parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a friction kit only. Reuse steels that are flat and not heat-blued, or choose a master kit if you want steels included.
Yes, it is listed for both. The F is the four-wheel-drive version and shares the clutch layout. Confirm the ID tag on your case before ordering.
It can be either. A slipping clutch can set the same performance code as a failed solenoid, so check fluid, line pressure and commanded versus actual gear before buying parts.
Toyota WS ATF. Soak the new frictions in it before assembly and set the level at the correct fluid temperature through the fill and check plug.
A full seal and gasket kit, any heat-damaged steels, the filter, and the C2 direct drum if it is cracked or its ring lands are worn.
