Master overhaul kit for the Aisin K114 CVT: 6 friction plates, 6 steels, plus the full seal, gasket and O-ring set for 2014-up RAV4 and Lexus NX200 2.0L.
If your 2.0L Toyota RAV4 or Lexus NX200 with the K114 CVT is slow to engage Drive or Reverse, thumps into gear, or flares on light throttle, the clutch pack and the rubber seals are the first wear items on the bench. This master kit puts six friction plates, six steel plates and the full overhaul set of lip seals, pan and case gaskets, sealing rings, O-rings and thrust washers in one box, so the soft side of a K114 teardown is covered by a single order.
Toyota's service manual describes the K114 as a fully electrohydraulic steel-belt CVT, built behind the 3ZR-FAE 2.0L. The belt and pulleys handle ratio, but they cannot select direction. That job falls to a forward clutch and a reverse clutch ahead of the primary pulley. Shift solenoid SLU feeds those clutches during engagement, then is switched over by solenoids SC and SL to run the torque converter lock-up clutch once the car is moving. Solenoids SLP and SLS set primary and secondary pulley pressure, and an oil pressure sensor reports belt clamping force back to the ECM.
That layout explains why the soft parts matter so much. Every one of those circuits is sealed by rubber and sealing rings. When the rings harden or the frictions glaze, the forward clutch takes longer to fill, pulley pressure bleeds off, and the ECM sees clamp force it did not command.
Check fluid level and condition first; the K114 is sensitive to low or broken-down fluid. Read codes with a scan tool that can show pulley pressure and turbine, primary and secondary speed (NT, NIN, NOUT). A gap between turbine and primary speed after engagement points at the clutch pack, while a gap between primary and secondary speed points at belt slip. Our guide on CVT harsh or delayed shifts walks through that order of checks, and CVT slipping under load covers how to tell clutch slip from belt slip.
If the pulley sheaves are scored or the belt shows heat damage, this kit alone will not fix it. Those are hard parts, sold separately.
This kit is listed for the K114 CVT in the 2014-up Toyota RAV4 2.0L and the Lexus NX200 2.0L. Those 2.0L CVT versions were sold mainly outside North America, so read the transaxle tag before ordering and confirm it says K114. Toyota also fitted a K114 behind the 2.0L in the C-HR; if you have a C-HR, send us the year and VIN and we will confirm the pack count matches before you order. The listing part reference is K114 / PAN-K114. You can browse every CVT part we carry on the CVT transmission parts page.
The kit does not include the belt, pulleys, oil pump, valve body or filter. For a deeper look at how belt CVTs wear across makes, read CVT transmission failure patterns.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The 2019-up RAV4 2.0L uses a different CVT with a launch gear, and US-market RAV4s of 2014-2018 used a 2.5L with a six-speed automatic. This kit is for the K114 behind the 2.0L. Check the tag on the transaxle case before you order.
Six friction plates, six steel plates, and an overhaul set of lip seals, paper and rubber gaskets, sealing rings, O-rings and thrust washers. The belt, pulleys, pump, valve body and filter are not included.
Toyota CVT Fluid FE. Do not substitute a conventional ATF or a universal multi-vehicle fluid; the clutch and belt friction needs are different.
Only if the whine came from low pump pressure caused by internal leaks. A whine that changes with road speed is usually a pulley or final-drive bearing, which this kit does not replace. Inspect the bearings while the unit is apart.
Plan on clearing codes and running the CVT initialization and learning procedure with a capable scan tool after the rebuild. Engagement quality can be poor until the ECM relearns clutch fill on the new frictions.
