U660E Transmission Filter & Oil Pan Gasket Kit, Toyota/Lexus 3.5L

This is the in-pan service filter and oil-pan gasket for the Toyota/Lexus U660E six-speed automatic transaxle, the unit Toyota bolted behind the 2GR 3.5L V6 across the mid-size and crossover lineup. It crosses to OE part numbers 35330-33050, 3533033050, 0440356, and 35330-48020, and ships as the filter plus the pan gasket needed to close the case back up. Check your OE filter number before ordering, because the U-family transaxles run several different filter shapes across models and years.

The bench job is straightforward. Drop the pan (18 bolts), pull the old filter straight down off the valve-body pickup, seat the new filter until the neck seals in its bore, lay the fresh gasket dry, and torque the pan bolts in a cross pattern before refilling with Toyota WS fluid. A filter that is clogged or starting to collapse is what starves the pump and drags out the harsh, delayed, or flaring shifts these units pick up with miles, so a filter and fluid service is the first move before anyone brings up a rebuild.

The other reason people pull this pan is the 35 to 45 mph torque-converter shudder the U660E is known for. Clean fluid and a fresh filter, often paired with a shudder-fix additive, is the standard first fix and clears it on a lot of cars for the cost of a service instead of a transmission. Fitment covers Toyota 08-18 Avalon 3.5L, 07-17 Camry 3.5L V6, 14-16 Highlander 3.5L, 11-16 Sienna 3.5L (and 11 Sienna 2.7L), 09-15 Venza, plus Lexus 07-18 ES350 3.5L and 10-15 RX350 3.5L. Ships from the USA.
