If you’re unfamiliar with the Reman Transmission, you should know about how we handle our remanufactured transmissions, including our remanufactured U140E transmissions. First, the transmission is disassembled and reverse-engineered by a team that excels in transmissions and auto parts. The aim is to make the remanufactured transmission superior to the original transmission from the manufacturer. This means taking care of any factory defects and addressing performance issues. Every single component is replaced with a new or newly machined component. All of these new or machined components are as good or better as the original part, and all are OEM-compliant. After reassembly, the transmission is inspected and must pass several checks in order to be deemed ready for sale to our valued customers. At Reman Transmission, we stand behind our work and we never sacrifice quality. Each remanufactured transmission also comes with a remanufactured torque converter and in many instances a new radiator. Head over to our online catalog right now and start shopping for your replacement U140E transmission. Give us a call when you’re ready to order or if you have any questions about your transmission needs.
U140E Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of transmission fluid and how much fluid does a U140E take?
For the U140E, never use any other transmission fluid except Toyota Type IV fluid. This is according to the manufacturer’s specifications. If you’ve drained or flushed the old fluid completely, you should have room for a full 3 liters of fluid.
What cars have a U140E transmission?
The U140E for V6 vehicle models was used in the Toyota Camry from 2002-2004, the Toyota Corolla Altis from 2008-2010, the Highlander from 2001-2003, the Lexus ES 300 from 1999-2001, and the Lexus RX 300 (front wheel drive) from 1999-2003. The Toyota U140E transmission was extremely popular and considered to be durable and reliable, as was the Lexus U140E transmission.
How long will a U140E transmission last?
The average amount of lifespan for a U140E transmission is between 130,000 and 180,000 miles, according to online reports from actual users. Remember that you need to take into account how well the transmission is maintained over the years, as well as how hard the vehicle is driven. Finally, a good quality remanufactured U140E will likely last considerably longer.
U140E History & Information
The U140E transmission is an automatic transmission developed and manufactured by the Japanese company Aisin AW Co., Ltd. Aisin AW is a major supplier of automotive transmissions to various car manufacturers around the world. The U140E is part of the U-series of transmissions produced by Aisin and an alternative name for the U140E family of transmissions is the U family. The U indicates that it’s part of the U series of transmissions.
The U140E came out near the end of the 1990s and was used in many front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, especially Toyotas. It’s a four-speed automatic transmission, with four forward gears and one reverse gear. Today, transmissions typically have more gears for better performance and fuel efficiency, but back when U140Es were made, the four-speed was considered a solid-sized transmission. Later on, the U140E was succeeded by the U140F and the U141E, both of which improved upon the performance, reliability, and efficiency of the transmission. However, when the U140E arrived on the scene, it was considered an upgrade. It was used in many Toyota models and some Lexus models, in both sedans and SUVs.
Like other transmission types, common problems associated with the U140E prompted upgrades over time. Manufacturers are always trying to improve reliability and performance. So, while Toyota and Lexus owners were, for the most part, satisfied with their vehicle's performance, there was room for improvement regarding the U140E transmission. Issues included things like a lack of response, grinding and shaking, odd noises like whining, clunking, and humming, inability to shift into gear, torque converter problems, gear slippage, and lots more. This is why many Toyota and Lexus owners look for remanufactured or used U140E transmissions since the remanufactured transmissions are very often better than the original U140E transmission used by the manufacturer.
Other issues that Lexus owners in particular have noticed with their original U140E transmission include shuddering, leaking transmission fluid, general noisiness, dragging clutch, check engine light coming on, reverse gear failure, valve body problems, and more. It’s generally understood that a U140E transmission will need servicing sooner than some other parts on a high-mileage Lexus or Toyota with this transmission.
As problems came to light, Aisin AW continued to develop and refine its automatic transmissions, leading to the introduction of newer models like the U150E, U151E, and U151F. These transmissions often featured more gears, improved efficiency, and enhanced shift quality, as automakers sought to meet stricter fuel economy and emission standards.
The U140E came in the Toyota Camry from 2002-2004, the Highlander from 2001-2003, the Lexus ES 300 from 1999-2001, and the Lexus RX 300 (front wheel drive) from 1999-2003.
Today, owners of vehicles with a U140E transmission can get a remanufactured transmission that has been made better than the original and has all manufacturer defects resolved and checked for quality. At Reman Transmission, we offer used and remanufactured U140E transmissions for individuals and auto repair professionals. Remanufactured transmissions are often better than the originals since Reman Transmissions sells only remanufactured transmissions that have had all known manufacturer defects resolved.
