U140E Clutch Module 2002, new and ready to install. Fits the U140E. Ships fast from the USA.
The 2002 model year is when the U140E went into the Camry V6, and many of those cars are now at the mileage where the clutch linings are spent: the engine revs up between gears, the car feels lazy pulling away, and the fluid comes out dark. This is a new friction module for 2002-and-later U140E and U140F transaxles, a full set of loose friction plates for re-lining the clutch packs. It ships as frictions only, with no steels, filter, gaskets or seals, so it suits a rebuild where the hard parts and steels are still good.
Aisin's U140 is a four-speed transaxle with three clutches and three brakes. Different pairs of those apply elements hold each gear, so a single glazed pack shows up as a problem in specific gears rather than everywhere. Replacing all the frictions at once removes the guesswork about which pack is next to fail, and fresh lining restores the holding capacity the shift timing is calibrated around. On the later 2002-up builds the transaxle also relies more heavily on learned adaptive pressures, so worn plates often show up first as erratic shift quality before outright slip.
Check the fluid first: low level makes healthy clutches slip. If the level is correct and the fluid is burnt, a pressure test separates a hydraulic leak from worn plates; our transmission pressure testing guide shows the hookup. Watch for the pattern Transmission Digest describes on this family: a 2-3 slip combined with a delayed or missing reverse usually means the direct drum ring lands are grooved, and that has to be fixed alongside the frictions. Binding on the 1-2 shift with no slip points toward a stuck DSL solenoid, not the clutches. For the full slip checklist see the slipping diagnosis guide.
This module is listed for U140E and U140F units from 2002 on. Vehicles in that range include the 2002-2004 Camry V6, 2002-2003 Highlander V6, 2002-2003 RX 300, 2002-2012 RAV4 AWD (U140F) and the 2009-2013 Corolla and 2009-2014 Matrix AWD. The first-generation 2002-2003 Camry Solara V6 also appears in fitment charts for this module. Watch the overlap years: some 2003-04 Camry V6 and 2004-up Solara V6 cars use the U151E five-speed, and four-cylinder Camry and RAV4 models use the U241E, neither of which this fits. Confirm the code on the transmission tag or send us your year and VIN. Other parts for this unit are on our Aisin parts page.

No. The four-cylinder Camry uses the U241E. This module is for the U140E V6 front-drive unit and the U140F all-wheel-drive unit.
A set of friction plates for the U140E/U140F clutch packs. Steels, filter, gaskets, seals and pistons are not included.
Inspect it. If the sealing-ring lands are grooved, replace the drum. A grooved drum leaks apply oil and causes 2-3 slip and late reverse even with new frictions.
The unit has to come out and be disassembled to reach the packs. Most builders replace seals and gaskets at the same time, since everything is already apart.
Yes. Reset the learned adapts with a scan tool, then drive the warmed-up vehicle at light, steady throttle through every shift until shift quality settles.
