U250E Master Rebuild Kit 2005-2009, new and ready to install. Fits the U250E. Ships fast from the USA.
The 2005-2009 four-cylinder Toyota Camry and the 2006-2009 Camry Solara 2.4L use the Aisin-built U250E five-speed transaxle, and at high mileage it tends to show up with a 2-3 flare, a clunk on the 5-4 or 3-2 downshift, slipping when hot, or burnt fluid. When the unit has to come apart, this U250E master rebuild kit for 2005-2009 gives you the full set of soft parts: friction and steel clutch packs, a filter, the pan and case gaskets, piston seals and sealing rings, so every clutch and brake is renewed in one teardown.
The U250E gets its five forward speeds from four clutches (C0 direct, C1 forward, C2 reverse input and C3 underdrive), three brakes (B1 second, B2 low-reverse and B3 underdrive) and two one-way clutches. Seven solenoids on the valve body, including the SL1, SL2, SL3 and SLT linear solenoids, control which elements apply and how hard. Every shift is a timed hand-off between two of those packs, so worn frictions or leaking seals show up first as flare and overlap that the computer tries, and eventually fails, to adapt out. Replacing the frictions, steels and seals together restores the clearances and sealing the valve body was designed around.
Not every shift complaint on this transmission is a worn clutch. Sonnax notes that a 2-3 bind can come from bad speed sensors, and that low battery voltage or poor grounds also upset shift quality, while the Transmission Digest case on a Camry U250E shows how a harsh coast-down can send a shop chasing solenoids. Scan for codes, check battery and grounds, and confirm fluid level with the fluid at temperature. If the fluid is burnt or the pan holds friction debris, the clutch packs are done. The 2-3 flare deserves a closer look: Sonnax ties it to sealing ring problems in the rear cover, which also lead to early C0 clutch failure. Our walkthrough on Aisin transmissions slipping under load covers the diagnostic order.
This kit is listed for the U250E in 2005-2009. In those years the U250E was the automatic in the four-cylinder 2.4L Camry and the 2006-2009 Camry Solara four-cylinder. V6 Camrys use different transaxles and are not covered. Later U250E applications such as the 2009-and-up Matrix and Corolla XRS 2.4L use the same family, but confirm against your old parts before using this kit there. Pull the transmission code from the tag or the VIN, or send us your year and VIN. Every Toyota and Aisin part we carry is in the Aisin transmission parts collection, and other U250E kit versions include the 2005 U250E master rebuild kit.
Debris from a failed unit often ends up in the valve body, so many rebuilders install a U250E valve body during the overhaul, and a new U250E TCC solenoid if lockup was erratic before the rebuild.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, the 2005-2009 four-cylinder Camry uses the U250E five-speed this kit is listed for. Confirm the code on your transmission tag or send us your VIN if you want us to double check.
No. V6 Camrys in these years use a different transaxle, so this U250E kit does not apply.
Toyota WS (World Standard) ATF. Fill to factory spec and check the level at the correct fluid temperature with a scan tool, since the U250E is checked hot.
A small flare or clunk is normal during adaptive relearn and usually clears within 10 to 15 shift cycles after the memory reset. If it persists, look at the C1 piston and battery voltage.
It is the friction, steel, seal, gasket and filter kit. Bonded pistons are a separate part; inspect yours and replace any that are debonded.
