About this product

Four-cylinder Toyotas with the U760E or U760F six-speed send all forward torque through one assembly, the forward/direct clutch drum. When a Camry 2.5L, a 2.5L RAV4, or a Highlander or Venza with the 2.7L starts flaring on takeoff, slips once it reaches the upper gears, or quits moving forward while Reverse still works, this is the part that usually comes out of the case. This drum is sold loaded, meaning it arrives with its clutch packs in place rather than as a bare shell. It is a used original Toyota part, cleaned and inspected.

How the forward/direct drum works in a U760E

The U760E is the four-cylinder member of the Aisin-built six-speed family that also includes the V6 U660E. Its forward/direct drum is splined to the input shaft and carries two packs. The forward clutch (C1) connects the input to the gear train for first through fourth, and the direct clutch (C2) takes over for fourth through sixth, with both on together in fourth. Oil reaches each piston through sealing rings on the shaft, so a failure can start in the frictions, in a hardened piston seal, or at worn ring lands that leak apply pressure. The drum is built for four-cylinder torque and plate count and is not the same part as the V6 drum.

Symptoms

Confirm the diagnosis first

A loaded drum is a serious repair, so prove the problem is inside the unit. Gears Magazine lists wrong or deteriorated fluid as a direct cause of flaring shifts and solenoid performance codes on these transmissions, so confirm the fluid is Toyota WS and the level is correct at temperature. It also notes that carbon on the throttle body or a lazy MAF can create harsh coasting downshifts that feel like a transmission fault. A light-throttle shudder between 25 and 50 mph is the converter lockup, not this drum. If the slip remains, read C1 and C2 pressures; normal pressure with slip condemns the drum, while low pressure points to the pump or valve body as described in our U660E and U760E problems guide.

Fitment

The listing is titled 2008-up, but no 2008 model-year Toyota used the U760E; Gears Magazine places its first use in the 2010 model year, and the 2009 Venza 2.7L is listed as an early application. The vehicles named are the Camry 2.5L 2010-2017, Highlander 2.7L 2009-2013 (four-cylinder only; the V6 Highlander uses the U660 family), Venza 2.7L, Sienna 2.7L 2011-2013, Scion tC 2.5L 2011-2016 and the 2.5L RAV4. Toyota's earlier four-cylinder RAV4s used a four-speed, so on a RAV4 confirm the tag reads U760E or U760F, which in practice means 2013 and later. AWD versions are the U760F. Compare the shaft length, spline count and plate count of your old drum with the photos, or send us your year, model and VIN. All parts for this family are on the U660E and U760E collection page.

U760E Clutch Drum 2008: common questions

What does loaded mean on this drum?

It means the drum comes with its forward and direct clutch packs installed, not as an empty housing. It is a used part, so inspect the plates and measure clearance before installation.

My Highlander has the V6. Will this fit?

No. The V6 Highlander uses the U660E or U660F, which needs its own drum. This one is for the four-cylinder 2.7L Highlander with the U760E or U760F.

Does it fit a 2010 RAV4 2.5L?

Check the tag first. Earlier four-cylinder RAV4s were built with a four-speed automatic; the six-speed U760E and U760F appear in the RAV4 from 2013. If your tag reads U760E or U760F, this drum is the matching design.

Why is it listed as 2008 if the U760E started in 2010?

The year comes from the original 2008-up description. The drum fits U760E and U760F units regardless of that label, so match the transmission code on your case rather than the year.

What should I replace along with the drum?

Input shaft sealing rings, all piston seals and gaskets from an overhaul kit, plus the transmission filter. Flush the cooler so debris from the old clutches does not contaminate the rebuild, and refill with Toyota WS fluid.
