Front and rear engine mounts plus the transmission mount with bracket for 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 2.5L AWD automatics with the U760E six-speed.
A fourth-generation RAV4 that thumps when you shift into Drive or Reverse, shakes the steering wheel at a stop with the A/C running, or clunks when you pull away hard often gets diagnosed as a failing six-speed automatic. Very often the transmission is fine and the rubber holding the engine and transaxle has simply worn out. This three-piece kit replaces the front engine mount, the rear engine mount and the automatic transmission mount with its bracket on 2013-2018 RAV4 2.5L all-wheel-drive models.
The 2.5L four-cylinder and its Aisin six-speed transaxle sit sideways in the engine bay as one assembly. The mounts carry its weight and, just as important, resist the twisting force when torque goes through the gears. In first gear and in Reverse that twist is at its highest, so the front and rear mounts and the transmission mount take turns controlling it. When the rubber cracks or separates from its metal, the whole powertrain is free to rock, and that motion is felt as a bang on engagement, a shudder at idle, or a clunk on takeoff and lift-off.
With the hood open and a helper firmly on the brake, shift into Drive and gently bump the throttle, then repeat in Reverse. A small rock is normal. A big lift of the engine or a gap opening at a mount means the mounts are done. Next, separate a true transmission problem: Gears Magazine (ATRA) stresses scanning all modules and points out that throttle body carbon and a slow MAF sensor can create harsh downshifts on these six-speeds. Transmission codes, a light-throttle shudder between 25 and 50 mph, or flaring shifts point inside the unit instead; our U660E and U760E diagnosis guide covers those.
The listing fits the 2013-2017 Toyota RAV4 2.5L L4 and the 2018 RAV4 2.5L L4 (Adventure, LE, Limited, Platinum, SE, XLE and XLE Plus) with an automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and a gas engine. It is not listed for front-wheel-drive models, the hybrid or the 2019-up fifth generation, and mount design changed between those. Cross-reference numbers on the listing include A42003, A42011, A42014, EM7200, EM7233 and EM9498, and Toyota numbers 12361-0V140, 12371-0V040, 12371-36100 and 12372-0V070. Match those against the parts on your vehicle, or send us the year and VIN before ordering. Parts for the RAV4's six-speed are grouped on the U660E and U760E parts page.

Yes. Worn mounts let the engine rock on engagement, which feels like a harsh shift into Drive or Reverse and a clunk on takeoff. Check the mounts before paying for transmission work.
The mounts share the load, so when one fails the others work harder and usually wear out soon after. Replacing all three at once gives you even support and one labor bill.
Yes. The kit includes one front engine mount, one rear engine mount and the automatic transmission mount with its bracket.
No. Its six-speed is a sealed WS-fluid unit, filled through a refill plug and checked at an overflow plug with the fluid between 185 and 194 F, as described in Toyota bulletin T-SB-0036-13.
