U760E Solenoid Kit 2013-2018, new and ready to install. Fits the U760E. Ships fast from the USA.
Fourth-generation Toyota RAV4 owners with the 2.5L engine and front-wheel drive usually find this page after a transmission warning, a slip on the highway, or a jolt every time they pull into Drive. This kit covers the 2013-2018 RAV4 2.5L FWD with the U760E six-speed and replaces the entire solenoid set: six linear solenoids and the on/off solenoid on its bracket, as shown in the photo.
The RAV4 switched from a four-speed to the U760E six-speed for the 2013 model year and kept it through 2018, before the 2019 redesign introduced an eight-speed. Shifts are clutch-to-clutch, so the computer must release one clutch while applying the next at exactly the right moment. It does that with linear solenoids that vary pressure according to current, one dedicated to line pressure and another to converter lockup, plus an on/off solenoid that moves a shift valve. A RAV4 often spends its life in short trips and stop-and-go traffic, which keeps the solenoids cycling constantly. Fluid that is old or not Toyota WS leaves varnish on the valve ends, and a sticking valve gives the computer pressure it did not ask for.
Start with the fluid. Check the level hot through the overflow plug at 185-194°F, as Toyota's bulletin describes, and look at its condition: dark, burnt-smelling fluid with debris on the magnet means more than solenoids are worn. Repair any engine faults first, because a dirty throttle body or MAF sensor corrupts the load signal used to set pressure. Then use Check Mode to make intermittent codes set on the first drive, and test in Manual 3 to isolate lockup shudder from an engine misfire. Both steps are explained in our U660E/U760E service guide, and the fluid procedure in our WS fluid capacity guide.
Listed for the U760E in 2013-2018, with the Toyota RAV4 2.5L FWD as the target application. All-wheel-drive RAV4s use the U760F transfer version of this transaxle; ask us before ordering for an AWD model so we can compare the parts. RAV4 Hybrid models use a hybrid transaxle and are not covered by this listing. The safest check is to compare connector colors and solenoid count with the photo and read the code on the case, or to send us your year and VIN. You can find the other U760E and U660E solenoid kits on the U660E/U760E collection page.
When a harsh shift persists after the solenoids are replaced, check for internal wear. Our U760E sprag clutch is one of the hard parts we stock for a teardown.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The listing targets the 2013-2018 RAV4 2.5L FWD with the U760E. AWD models use the U760F; send your VIN and we will check the solenoid set against it before you order.
No. The hybrid uses a different transaxle without these shift solenoids.
No. The 2019 RAV4 changed to an eight-speed transmission, so this U760E kit does not apply.
Yes. The pan is already off, so replace the strainer and pan gasket and refill with fresh Toyota WS ATF rather than reusing old fluid.
Worn valve body bores, a damaged harness, low fluid or uncleared learned values can all keep a performance code active. Reset the ECT learned values and recheck the fluid level hot first.
