U760E Clutch Module, used and ready to install. Fits the U760E. Ships fast from the USA.
Searching for a U760E clutch module usually means a four-cylinder Toyota six-speed, most often a 2.5L Camry, has started to flare between gears, slip once it is hot, or lose Drive while Reverse still works. The part behind this listing is the hard part those packs live in: a used original Toyota forward/direct drum, the C1/C2 assembly, identified by interchange number 277555B. It is the U760E and U760F version with the 9-1/4 inch long input shaft, the three-forward and two-direct clutch layout, and the small-hole drum. At $90.99 it is aimed at the builder who already has the unit apart and needs a straight, sealing drum to stack fresh clutches into.
The U760E is Aisin's four-cylinder member of the Toyota front-drive six-speed family, and Gears Magazine dates its first use to model year 2010 four-cylinder applications. It shares the clutch strategy ATSG documents for the V6 U660E: two driving clutches, C1 and C2, three brakes and one one-way clutch. C1, the forward clutch, is applied in first through fourth gear and C2, the direct clutch, is applied in fourth through sixth, and both sit inside this drum. The drum is the input member, so torque for every forward gear passes through it before reaching the planetary gearsets. Apply oil travels up the input shaft, past sealing rings, into the two pistons. Worn ring grooves, a scored piston bore or a loose bushing bleed that oil away, and even new frictions will then slip.
Rule out the outside causes first. Gears Magazine recommends scanning every module, not just the transmission, and using Toyota's Check Mode to set intermittent codes quickly. It also points out that the wrong fluid in these units causes flaring shifts and solenoid performance codes on its own, and that a dirty throttle body or slow MAF sensor causes harsh coasting downshifts with no internal fault. Set the fluid level hot with the vehicle level, as laid out in Toyota bulletin T-SB-0036-13; our U660E and U760E problems and service guide walks through that check. If the slip remains, ATSG shows dedicated C1 and C2 pressure taps on the case. Low pressure at one tap with normal line pressure points to leakage in that circuit, and the drum, its sealing rings and the pistons are the usual suspects.
The listing catalogs this drum for 2008-and-up U760E and U760F transaxles. It is not interchangeable with the V6 U660E drum, which carries more clutches and looks similar on the bench, so count the clutch positions in the drum you remove: three forward and two direct means this is your part. Compare shaft length and the drum hole pattern to the photos as well, and if you are unsure, send us the year and VIN before ordering. Every U660E and U760E part we carry is listed together on the U660E/U760E transmission page.
This is a used drum, so clean it and inspect it before it goes in: check the piston bores, the shaft ring grooves, the bushing and the spline teeth for wear. Plan on new frictions, steels and sealing rings; the U760E master rebuild kit covers the soft parts in one box. Soak new frictions in fluid for at least 30 minutes, then measure the C1 and C2 pack clearance with a dial indicator before closing the unit. Since a slipping clutch often goes hand in hand with worn valve body bores, many builders replace the U760E valve body at the same time. Fill with Toyota WS fluid only (see our WS fluid type and capacity guide), set the level hot per the bulletin, and clear adaptive values with the ECT reset function on a capable scan tool. Gears Magazine notes some aftermarket tools display the reset but do not actually perform it.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the forward/direct (C1/C2) drum assembly, interchange 277555B, sold used. Plan to install new frictions, steels and seals from a rebuild kit rather than relying on what came out of a used unit.
No. V6 models use the U660E, whose drum carries four forward and three direct clutches. This drum is the U760E/U760F version with three forward and two direct clutches.
Check fluid level and type first, then read C1 and C2 pressure at the case test ports. Low pressure in one clutch circuit with good line pressure points to leakage in the drum, rings or pistons. Low line pressure points to the valve body or pump.
Toyota WS automatic transmission fluid. Toyota's bulletin T-SB-0036-13 gives the hot level-check procedure for the U760E and U760F.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptive memory with the ECT reset function on a scan tool that truly supports it, then drive the vehicle cold to hot so the computer can relearn shift timing.
