Overhaul kit plus friction and steel plates for the Toyota U760E/U760F six-speed in the 2008-2012 Camry, Highlander 2.7L, Sienna 2.7L and Venza.
If your four-cylinder Camry, Highlander 2.7L, Sienna 2.7L or Venza is slipping on the 2-3 shift, banging into Drive, or showing dark fluid with metallic paste on the magnets, the six-speed under it is most likely a U760E, or the U760F in all-wheel-drive versions. This master kit is the complete soft-parts package for tearing that unit down: the overhaul set of seals, gaskets, sealing rings and rubber rings, plus a full set of friction plates and a full set of steel plates. Having new steels in the box is what separates it from a basic banner kit, and on a unit that has run hot it is usually the right call.
The U760E is the four-cylinder member of Toyota and Aisin's front-drive six-speed family. Gears Magazine dates it to the 2010 model year, after the V6 U660E had been in production since 2007. Every gear is made by applying a combination of multi-plate clutches and brakes against the planetary sets, and the computer meters apply pressure through pulse-width-modulated solenoids. A clutch only holds if its piston seals hold pressure and its friction and steel plates still have the right surface and thickness. Heat attacks both at once: the friction material glazes and the steels take on blue heat marks or warp. Replacing the frictions while reusing those steels is a common reason a fresh rebuild still slips, which is why this kit includes both.
Not every U760E complaint is a clutch problem. Gears Magazine notes that the most common complaint on these units is a shudder between about 25 and 50 mph, which is usually the torque converter's flex lockup, the lockup valves or the wrong fluid. Holding the shifter in Manual 3 disables flex lockup, so if the shudder disappears there, a rebuild kit is not your fix. Scan every module, check the fluid level hot at the overflow plug, and work through our U660E and U760E diagnostic guide. Our WS fluid and capacity guide covers the level check in detail. Rebuild when you see slipping on a correctly filled unit, burnt fluid, or clutch material in the pan.
The application list for this kit names the 2009-2012 Camry 2.4L and 2.5L, the 2008-2012 Highlander 2.7L, the 2010-2012 Sienna 2.7L, the Venza 2.7L and the 2011-2012 RAV4 2.5L, in both U760E and U760F form. Because the U760E did not reach the four-cylinder lineup until the 2010 model year, some early vehicles on that list may carry a different transaxle. Read the model code on the transmission identification plate before ordering, and if it does not read U760E or U760F, send us your year, model and VIN so we can check it. V6 versions of the same vehicles use the U660E and need a different kit. The full family is on our U660E and U760E parts page.
Clean and inspect every drum, bushing and the pump before anything goes back together; a kit cannot fix a grooved drum, and a worn one should be swapped for a U760E clutch drum. Soak the new frictions in Toyota WS fluid, stack each pack with new steels and measure clearance against the factory specification, then air-check each circuit. Gears Magazine points out that valve body bore wear and mechanically stuck solenoids are common on these units, so on a high-mileage unit that has lived in burnt fluid, consider a U760E solenoid kit during the same job.
There is no dipstick. Fill with genuine Toyota WS fluid and set the level at the overflow plug in the 185-194 F window given in Toyota's T-SB-0036-13. Finish by resetting the transmission adaptive memory with a scan tool that can perform Toyota's ECT reset, then drive the vehicle from cold to fully warm so the computer relearns shift timing on the new clutches.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
A banner kit has the overhaul seals and gaskets plus friction plates. This master kit adds a complete set of steel plates, so you are not reusing steels that may be heat-marked or warped from the original failure.
No. The 3.5L V6 models use the U660E. This kit is for the four-cylinder U760E and its all-wheel-drive U760F version. Check the plate on the case to confirm.
Often not. That shudder is usually torque converter lockup, the lockup control valves or fluid condition. Test in Manual 3, which disables flex lockup, before deciding on a rebuild.
Toyota WS automatic transmission fluid, part number 00289-ATFWS. Set the level at the overflow plug with the fluid between 185 and 194 F.
Yes. The transmission computer keeps learned shift values even with the battery disconnected, so clear them with a tool that can run Toyota's ECT reset, then drive from cold to hot to relearn.
