Complete U760E valve body for front-drive Camry, RAV4, Highlander and Venza when solenoid codes and harsh shifts point past the solenoids themselves.
If a front-wheel-drive Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Venza, Lexus RX350 or ES350 is flaring between second and third, banging into gear from a stop, or slipping once the transmission comes up to temperature, the part underneath those complaints is usually the U760E valve body rather than any single solenoid. This is a complete replacement assembly, built with the solenoids and separator plate already fitted, covering the widest span of 2WD applications Toyota built on this casting.
The U760E is Aisin's six-speed transaxle for Toyota's transverse front-drive four-cylinder cars, and the valve body is its hydraulic brain. Line pressure from the pump passes through a network of precision-machined bores and spool valves inside the casting, and each valve routes pressure to a specific clutch pack or band on command from the shift and pressure control solenoids mounted on the body. The separator plate between the upper and lower halves channels that pressure to the right passage, and the checkballs seated in it act as one-way valves so pressure goes where the computer intends and nowhere else.
Scan for codes first. A fresh solenoid will not hold pressure if the bore it rides in has worn oval, so a code pointing at a specific solenoid circuit does not rule out the valve body itself — it is often the reason a solenoid swap alone does not fix the shift. Our U660E/U760E problems and service guide walks through the Manual-3 isolation test that separates a valve body bore problem from a wiring or sensor fault, and it is worth running before you spend money on parts.
This assembly covers Camry 2009-2017, Highlander 2008-2019, RAV4 2011-on, Venza 2008-2017, Lexus RX350 2011-2013 and ES350 2013-2015, in the front-wheel-drive 2WD configuration only. The all-wheel-drive versions of these same vehicles use the U760F, which is a different casting and will not interchange with this part. Check the tag on your transmission case before ordering, or send your year, make, model and VIN so we can confirm the exact build. The U660E/U760E transmission parts collection carries the rest of the hard parts for this family if you need more than the valve body.
Drop the pan and pull the filter first so loose debris from the failed unit does not transfer into the new body. Remove the mounting bolts from the outside in and lower the body straight down rather than prying it sideways, and keep track of bolt length and position as they come out — the U760E uses more than one length, and a long bolt forced into a short hole will crack the casting. Transfer the harness connector, torque the bolts back down in a crossing pattern to spec, and install a fresh filter and pan gasket with new Toyota Genuine WS ATF. Clear the stored codes and run the adaptive relearn through a mix of light and moderate throttle before judging the new shift feel. If the old solenoids were also carrying high mileage before this failure, a U760E solenoid kit is worth having on hand, and a worn U760E sprag clutch is a common companion failure on units that have slipped for a while before the valve body was replaced.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It covers Camry 2009-2017, Highlander 2008-2019, RAV4 2011-on, Venza 2008-2017, and Lexus RX350 2011-2013 or ES350 2013-2015, in front-wheel-drive 2WD only. AWD versions use the U760F and need a different valve body.
A fresh filter and pan gasket are required at install. If the old solenoids ran for a long time on worn fluid, a solenoid kit and a sprag clutch inspection are worth doing at the same time.
Harsh or flared 2-3 shifts, banging into gear from a stop, slipping once warm, torque converter clutch shudder at cruise, or limp mode with a stored solenoid code.
Toyota Genuine WS ATF only. Use our fluid guide to level it correctly, since this unit is checked by temperature rather than a dipstick.
Clear the stored codes and run the adaptive relearn through a mix of light and moderate throttle shifts before judging the new shift feel.
Check the tag on the transmission case, or send us your year, make, model and VIN and we will confirm the correct build before it ships.
