Replacement U660E six-speed valve body with solenoids for Toyota Camry, Venza, Highlander and Lexus ES350 and RX350, 2006 to 2011.
A 2006-2011 Toyota Camry 3.5L, Venza, Highlander, RAV4, Estima/Alphard, or Lexus ES350 or RX350 that bangs into 1-2, flares on the 2-3 upshift, shudders when the torque converter clutch locks up, or has dropped into a no-upshift limp mode with a stored code is almost always pointing at the valve body. This replacement valve body carries the P47740 casting used across that production run and comes with the solenoid pack already installed, so it goes on as a direct swap rather than a parts-bin project.
Solenoid bore wear is the pattern on this unit. As the bores go oval and a stuck accumulator lets line pressure drop off, drivers report a hard 1-2 bang, a long 2-3 flare, a shudder on torque converter clutch apply, or a no-upshift limp-in - and the computer usually stores one of P0700, P2716, P0748 or P0778 when it happens. A fluid and filter service plus a solenoid resistance check will rule out the cheaper fixes first, but once the bores themselves have worn oval no amount of cleaning restores them, and the valve body is the part that actually fixes the complaint.
Scan for codes first - P0700, P2716, P0748 and P0778 are the ones most often tied to this failure - and read our U660E/U760E problems and service guide for how to separate a torque converter clutch shudder from a true valve body fault using the Manual-3 test. If the fluid has not been serviced recently, check the level at the correct temperature before condemning the valve body; our U660E fluid type and capacity guide covers the procedure, since this unit is checked by ATF temperature rather than a dipstick.
This valve body carries the P47740 casting with six ports, a threaded inlet and an NPT outlet, and it fits the Toyota U660E and U660F six-speed front-wheel-drive automatic as installed in the 2006-2011 Camry 3.5L, 2008-2011 Venza, 2009-2011 Highlander, RAV4 V6, 2006-2011 Estima/Alphard, 2006-2011 Lexus ES350 and 2008-2011 Lexus RX350. Match the P47740 casting number stamped on your old unit against this listing before ordering. See the complete U660 transmission parts collection for other years and the matching rebuild parts for this family.
Drop the pan, pull the filter, disconnect the internal harness connectors and the transmission wire harness at the case pass-through, then walk the valve body bolts out in a crossing pattern and lower the unit straight down so the separator plate and check balls stay in place - note where each bolt length came from, because they are not all the same. On reassembly, torque the bolts evenly to spec, reconnect the solenoid harness, install a new filter and pan gasket - our Toyota filter and gasket kit fits this service - and refill through the fill plug, setting the level with the fluid at the correct temperature using a scan tool that reads ATF temperature. Clear the adaptive memory and drive the car through several light-throttle upshifts and downshifts so the TCM relearns clutch apply timing; skipping the relearn is the usual reason a good valve body still shifts rough for the first fifty miles. If the input side of the transmission also shows wear, a U660E input drum is worth inspecting at the same time.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes - this valve body is sold with the solenoid pack in place, so it is a direct swap rather than requiring you to transfer solenoids from your old unit.
P47740, with six ports, a threaded inlet and an NPT outlet. Match that stamped casting number on your old unit before ordering to be certain.
P0700, P2716, P0748 and P0778 are the codes most often stored when the valve body bores wear oval on this unit.
Yes - this transmission is checked by ATF temperature rather than a dipstick, so you need a scan tool that reads transmission fluid temperature to set the fluid level correctly after installation.

Skipping the adaptive relearn is the most common cause. Clear the adaptive memory and drive through several light-throttle upshifts and downshifts so the TCM relearns clutch apply timing against the new valve body.
