Seven shift and pressure control solenoids for the Toyota U760E six-speed, the fix for P0741, P2716 and harsh or flared upshifts.
Owners shopping for this set usually have a four-cylinder Camry, or another transverse Toyota with the U760E or all-wheel-drive U760F six-speed, that has started to misbehave: a 2-3 upshift that flares or bangs, a shudder at light throttle on the highway, a shift that hangs until you lift off the gas, or a warning lamp with a solenoid code. This is a complete seven-piece replacement set for the solenoids that bolt to the valve body, so every electronically controlled circuit in the transaxle gets a fresh valve in one pan-down job.
The U760E has no throttle cable or governor. The computer runs the whole transaxle through pulse-width-modulated linear solenoids that meter oil to each clutch during a shift, set main line pressure, and control the torque converter lockup clutch, plus one on/off solenoid that moves a shift valve. Toyota also uses a strategy it calls flex lockup, a partial converter apply that can be commanded in any gear from first to sixth at light and moderate throttle, so the lockup solenoid is working almost all the time you are driving. In the photo you can identify the set by its connectors: six linear solenoids in pairs with white, brown and black plugs, and the single bracket-mounted on/off solenoid with the blue plug. Lay your old parts out the same way when you pull them and you will know immediately whether this set matches your unit.
Toyota solenoids rarely fail electrically. They wear and stick mechanically in old or contaminated fluid, which sets performance codes. So a true circuit code (open or short) usually sends you to the harness and connector pins first, while a performance code means the solenoid, the fluid, or the valve bore it sits in. Check the fluid level hot and confirm it is Toyota WS. To separate converter shudder from an engine miss, drive in Manual 3, which disables flex lockup; if the shudder disappears, the lockup circuit is your suspect. Our U660E/U760E problems and service guide walks through the full sequence, and the WS fluid and capacity guide covers the level check. Also price the job against a complete U760E valve body for the 2.5L Camry: the primary regulator, lockup control and solenoid modulator bores wear on this design, and new solenoids cannot fix a worn bore.
This set is listed for U760E and U760F applications in the Toyota Camry, Highlander and Sienna. The U760E is the four-cylinder member of the family and first went into production for the 2010 model year; the V6 versions of the same vehicles use the U660E, whose solenoids are not interchangeable with this set. Because Toyota ran different engines and transmissions in the same nameplates, verify by the transmission tag on the case, not by model year alone, and compare connector colors and the bracketed solenoid against your old parts. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Other year-specific U760E solenoid kits and V6 parts are on the U660E/U760E parts page.
If the shift complaint remains with new solenoids and good fluid, a U760E shift kit addresses valve body calibration while the pan is already off.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Read the transmission tag on the case. It should say U760E or U760F. Then compare your old solenoids to the photo: six linear solenoids with white, brown and black connectors and one bracket-mounted on/off solenoid with a blue connector. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN.
No. The V6 models use the U660E, which needs a different solenoid set. This kit is for the four-cylinder U760E and its all-wheel-drive U760F version.
One solenoid fixes one code. But all seven have seen the same fluid and mileage, and they all come out with the same pan drop, so most high-mileage repairs replace the full set at once rather than coming back for the next one.
Converter shudder on this transaxle can come from worn lockup control valve bores, old or wrong fluid, or an engine miss. Test in Manual 3, which turns off flex lockup, and confirm Toyota WS fluid at the correct hot level before replacing more parts.
Yes. Clear codes in all modules and run Toyota's ECT reset with a scan tool that supports it. Disconnecting the battery will not clear the transmission's learned values, and crossing the battery cables can damage the modules.
