The Toyota U660E is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transaxle used in a range of front-wheel-drive Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Designed for higher-output applications, including vehicles equipped with V6 engines, the U660E uses multiple clutch assemblies, sophisticated electronic controls and a lockup torque converter to provide six forward ratios. Applications include selected Toyota Camry, Avalon, Sienna and Lexus models depending on year and powertrain. The transmission relies on precise hydraulic control because each shift requires carefully timed application and release of internal clutch elements. If your U660E-equipped Toyota or Lexus develops harsh shifting, slipping or delayed engagement in Bellevue, NE, Certified Transmission can diagnose the cause and provide a rebuilt U660E when replacement is appropriate.

Common U660E Transmission Problems

Valve-body wear and hydraulic-control problems can cause several U660E drivability complaints. Wear in pressure-regulator and clutch-control circuits can interfere with proper clutch application, resulting in shift flare, slipping, harsh shifts or delayed engagement. Solenoid performance problems may cause inconsistent shift timing or pressure control. Torque-converter clutch concerns can produce shudder, excessive slip or abnormal lockup behavior. Internal clutch and seal wear can develop when hydraulic pressure remains inadequate, leading to increasingly severe slipping or loss of a gear. Drivers may also notice that shift quality changes significantly between a cold transmission and one that has reached full operating temperature.
