U760E Planetary 2007, used and ready to install. Fits the U760E. Ships fast from the USA.
Hearing a whine from a Camry, Highlander, Venza, Avalon, Sienna or Lexus ES350 that climbs with road speed, or found glitter in the pan of a Toyota six-speed front-drive transaxle? This is a used, cleaned and inspected OEM underdrive planet set for the Aisin-built U760E and U660E family. It is the 4-pinion version with a 66-tooth sun gear, and the same set is used in both the four-cylinder U760E/F and the V6 U660E/F, which is why it is listed for 2007 and later even though the four-cylinder unit came later.
The U760E and U660E share their basic gear train layout: a single underdrive planetary set sits behind a Ravigneaux-type gearset, and the two work through the counter drive and driven gears to the differential. The underdrive set is in the power path in the lower gears, so it carries the highest torque multiplication the transaxle produces. Four pinions ride on needle bearings on the carrier, and thrust washers and bearings keep the carrier, sun and ring gear on their centerline. When those needles or thrust surfaces wear, the pinions start to rock, the gear mesh goes out of pattern and the noise starts. Left alone, the debris travels through the valve body and the clutch packs.
Separate driveline noise from transmission noise first: wheel bearings, CV joints and a converter can all mimic gear whine. If the noise changes with gear selection at the same road speed, the gear train is the likely source. Pull the pan and check the magnet. Gears Magazine reports that these Toyota six-speeds also develop case wear at the main gear train bearing bore, which throws the centerline off and wears bushings, so check that bore before you put a different planet set in an old case. If the complaint is shudder or a harsh downshift with no noise, that is usually lockup, valve body or fluid related; read our U660E and U760E problems guide before tearing the unit down.
The source unit's fitment list covers the 2007-2017 Camry V6 3.5L, 2010-2017 Camry 2.5L four-cylinder, 2008-2016 Highlander 2.7L and 3.5L, 2009-2016 Venza, 2008-2018 Avalon, 2011-2016 Sienna 2.7L and 3.5L, and Lexus ES350 and RX350. Gears Magazine dates the V6 U660E to the 2007 Camry and ES350 and the four-cylinder U760E to the 2010 model year, so on a four-cylinder vehicle confirm the transaxle code on the ID tag before ordering; not every four-cylinder Toyota of those years used this transaxle. Count the pinions and sun gear teeth on your old set and compare with the photos, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Other parts for this family are on our U660E and U760E parts page, and a later-production set is listed as the 2009 U760E planetary.
Check pinion end play on the carrier before installing, and replace thrust washers, thrust bearings and any bushing that shows copper or scoring. A used set should go into a clean unit: flush the cooler and lines so debris from the old gear set does not come back. Most rebuilders do this job with a full kit such as our U760E overhaul kit, which supplies the seals and gaskets you disturb getting to the gear train. Refill only with Toyota WS fluid. There is no dipstick, so the level must be set with the fluid between 185 and 194 F using the check plug procedure in Toyota's bulletin; our fluid type and capacity guide walks through it. After the repair, reset the transmission adaptive values with a scan tool so shift timing relearns on the rebuilt gear train.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for the 2010-2017 Camry 2.5L with the U760E. Read the transaxle code on the ID tag or send us your VIN; the set is the 4-pinion version with a 66-tooth sun gear.
The underdrive set is shared with the V6 U660E, which started in 2007. The four-cylinder U760E arrived for the 2010 model year, so 2007 marks the start of the shared design, not a 2007 four-cylinder application.
Thrust washers, thrust bearings and any worn bushings, plus the seals and gaskets in an overhaul kit. Inspect the case bearing bore as well, since a worn bore will ruin a replacement set.
No. It is a used OEM part that has been cleaned and inspected. It is covered by our 1-year warranty.
Toyota WS ATF only, with the level set hot (185-194 F) at the check plug as described in Toyota bulletin T-SB-0036-13.
