2001 - 2005: A541E 4-speed automatic 2006 - 2012: U151E or U151F 5-speed automatic 2013 - 2018: U660E 6-speed automatic 2019+: Direct-Shift CVT (K311F) on most trims; 8-speed automatic on Adventure/TRD trims
U660E diagnosis and repair matches Camry - solenoid replacement possible in many cases. AWD transfer clutch wear is a companion repair we do simultaneously with transmission work.
All RAV4: Toyota WS ATF or Toyota CVT fluid - change every 40,000 miles (30k for CVT)
Solenoid: 1 - 2 days. Rebuild: 3 - 4 days.
Fluid service and inspection complete the same day. Solenoid or sensor replacement: 1 day. Torque converter or seal repair: 2 - 3 days. Full rebuild with road test: 4 - 6 days. Time estimates assume parts in stock - call (312) 626-8759 to verify availability for your specific vehicle.
Every vehicle needs diagnosis before anyone can promise a repair path. These are the situations we help organize before you decide what to do next.
Tell us when it happens, whether reverse still works, and if warning lights are on. A scan and fluid check come before guessing at a rebuild.
Fluid condition, leak location, and driving distance matter. If the vehicle is slipping badly or overheating, towing may be the safer next step.
A failed solenoid, valve body, converter, or internal clutch problem can lead to very different repair paths. The goal is a clear diagnosis and written estimate.
U660E linear solenoid failure is the likely cause on a 2013 - 2018 RAV4 AWD. Same repair as Camry - often fixable without a full rebuild.
AWD requires additional transfer case and coupling inspection, adding $149 - 249 to the service. We always inspect both when pulling an AWD transmission.
If under 60k miles, yes - bring it to the dealer under powertrain warranty first. Outside warranty, CVT fluid service is the first step.
3 - 4 business days.
Yes - we use Toyota WS ATF and Toyota CVT Fluid FE in all Toyota/Lexus rebuilds. Correct fluid is essential.
