U140E Banner Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the U140E. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Camry V6, Highlander, Solara, RX300 or RAV4 with the U140E or U140F has started slipping on the 2-3 shift, flaring into fourth, or engaging Drive late after it sits, the clutch packs are usually what's left to fix. This U140E banner rebuild kit puts a full set of new frictions and the overhaul gasket and seal set in one box, so the clutch side of the rebuild is done in one order.
The U140E is Aisin's four-speed transverse unit for V6 front-drive Toyotas and Lexus models, and the U140F is the all-wheel-drive version. Every gear is made by applying a different combination of clutches and brakes, so worn frictions in any one pack show up as a specific bad shift rather than a general slip. This kit contains 27 paper-faced friction plates across six packs plus one overhaul gasket set:
The friction callouts on the box carry U240E, U150 and U151 names because Aisin shares plate sizes across the U family; the counts above are what a U140E needs. Steel plates are not included, which is what makes this a banner kit and not a master kit.
Rule out the cheap causes first: fluid level checked hot at the fill plug, a clean filter, and the shift solenoids. Our shift flare vs slip guide explains how to tell a hydraulic timing problem from a clutch that is actually worn, and the slipping diagnosis guide walks through pressure and scan-data checks. If the pan holds black friction debris and the slip follows one gear, the packs are done and a teardown is the fix.
The kit is made for U140E and U140F units from 1998 on, with the 2002-2005 Camry Solara listed as a confirmed application. U140 units went into V6 Camry, Highlander, ES300, RX300 and RAV4 models, but the four-cylinder front-drive versions of the same vehicles use the U241E, and the later 3.3L and 3.5L V6 models moved to the U151E and U151F. Read the code on the transmission tag before ordering. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it. Browse every Aisin and Toyota part we stock on the Aisin transmission page.
Soak every new friction in clean fluid before assembly. Because steels are not in this box, inspect each steel plate for blue heat marks, flat spots or warping; reuse only flat, clean steels, and measure each pack clearance against the service manual once it is stacked. Transmission Digest notes that the direct-clutch sealing rings in this family should run 0.003 to 0.005 in. of side clearance, and a drum with grooved ring lands has to be replaced, not resealed. A replacement U140E clutch drum is the fix when the lands are cut.
The gasket set comes without pistons, so if a piston lip is torn or the bonded rubber is lifting, add the U140E piston kit. Finish with a new filter and pan gasket, refill with Toyota Type T-IV or WS as specified for your model year, and run an adaptive relearn so the shift times reset to the fresh clutches. Our relearn guide covers the drive cycle.

No. It contains 27 friction plates and one overhaul gasket and seal set. Steels are not included, so inspect yours for heat marks and warping and replace any that are not flat before you assemble the packs.
Usually not. Four-cylinder front-drive Camry and Highlander models use the U241E, not the U140E. Read the transmission tag, or send us the year and VIN and we will confirm before you order.
Yes. The U140F shares the U140E clutch packs, and the kit is listed for both. The transfer and rear-cover parts on the AWD unit are separate.
No. This is the overhaul set without pistons. If any piston seal is torn or the bonded rubber is coming loose, add a U140E piston kit.
Use the Toyota fluid specified for your year, Type T-IV on earlier units or WS on later ones, then run an adaptive relearn drive cycle so shift timing matches the new frictions.
