Master overhaul kit for the Aisin U760E/U760F 6-speed automatic: frictions, steels, sealing rings, gaskets and seals for Camry, Highlander and RAV4.
When a 2008-2013 Camry, Highlander, Sienna or Venza starts slipping, flaring between gears or engaging late, and the fluid smells burnt, the clutch packs inside the six-speed are worn through. This master overhaul kit covers the U760E front-wheel-drive and U760F all-wheel-drive versions and, unlike a basic gasket set, includes both friction plates and steel plates along with the sealing rings, gaskets, rubber seals and O-rings, so the whole clutch system is renewed in one order.
Toyota and Aisin's front-wheel-drive six-speeds shift by applying clutches and brakes to planetary gear sets. In the closely related U660E, ATSG documents two driving clutches (C1 and C2), three brake clutches (B1, B2 and B3) and a one-way clutch (F1). Each clutch pack alternates friction plates with steel plates; when the pack is applied, oil pressure squeezes them together and the friction lining transfers torque. Over time the lining wears thin and the steels glaze or heat-discolor, so the pack needs more pressure to hold and eventually slips. The piston seals and sealing rings in this kit restore apply pressure, and the new frictions and steels restore the holding surfaces. Replacing the steels at the same time matters: new frictions against glazed steels will not hold as well as a matched set.
Several U760E complaints are not clutch failures. A 25-50 mph shudder under light throttle usually traces to the lockup clutch, valve body or fluid, and Gears Magazine recommends testing in Manual 3, which disables flex lockup. Worn valve body bores can also starve a good clutch of pressure. Sonnax's U660E/U660F vacuum test guide lists the lockup control, lockup control boost and solenoid modulator bores as the critical wear points. Read our U660E/U760E service guide for the full diagnostic order, and check fluid level and condition with our WS fluid guide before you tear the unit down.
The fitment list for this kit is 2009-2013 Camry (2.4L, 2.5L, 3.5L), 2008-2013 Highlander (2.7L, 3.3L, 3.5L), 2010-2013 Sienna (2.7L, 3.5L) and 2009-2013 Venza (2.7L, 3.5L). Be aware that Gears Magazine identifies the U760E as the 4-cylinder unit, while the V6 engines are paired with the U660E family, and some Highlander hybrid and V6 versions used other transmissions. Read the ID plate on your case before ordering. If it does not say U760E or U760F, or you have any doubt, send us your year, model and VIN and we will confirm the correct kit. See every part for this family on our U660E/U760E parts page.
This kit does not include a filter or hard parts. Inspect drums, hubs, pump and the one-way clutch while the unit is apart; a worn sprag can be replaced with a U760E sprag clutch. Soak the frictions in WS fluid, stack each pack with its new steels, and set clearance using the selective plate. Replace the pump and drum sealing rings rather than reusing them, and air-check every clutch before installing the valve body. If the bores tested worn, address them now, or the new packs will see the same low pressure. Add a new filter such as the filter and pan gasket kit.
Fill with Toyota WS ATF and set the level at the overflow plug at 185-194 F, per Toyota's level-adjustment bulletin. Then clear codes, run the ECT adaptive reset, and drive from cold to hot so the computer learns the new clutch pack clearances.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. It includes friction plates, steel plates, sealing rings, gaskets, rubber seals and O-rings. It does not include a filter or hard parts such as drums, hubs or the pump.
The fitment list includes 3.5L versions, but V6 models are generally built with the U660E family. Read the ID plate on your case and send us your VIN so we can confirm the kit matches your unit.
Yes, the kit is listed for both the U760E front-wheel-drive and U760F all-wheel-drive versions. Confirm the ID plate on your case reads U760F, and send us your VIN if the plate is missing or unreadable.
Toyota WS ATF (00289-ATFWS). Set the final level at the overflow plug with the fluid at 185-194 F.
Not always. Vacuum test the critical bores while the unit is apart. If they leak, repair them or replace the valve body, because worn bores will cause the new clutches to slip.
