Stellar Automotive Group U540E Forward Clutch Bonded Piston – Compatible for Toyota & Lexus 2005-2018
Get your U540E transmission shifting like new again with this high-quality bonded forward clutch piston (C1) from Stellar Automotive Group.
Precision-machined from aluminum and featuring a factory-bonded rubber sealing lip, this piston is an exact drop-in replacement for the original Toyota/Lexus part. Old or split pistons are a leading cause of forward clutch failure — they lose pressure, leak internally, and burn the clutches. Installing this upgraded bonded piston during your rebuild restores proper hydraulic apply, eliminates slip in drive, and delivers crisp, reliable forward performance mile after mile.
Common vehicles this piston fits (2005-2018):
Toyota Tacoma (2.7L & 4.0L)
Toyota Highlander & Highlander Hybrid
Toyota RAV4 (4-cyl & V6)
Toyota Sienna (FWD models)
Lexus RX330, RX350, RX400h
Symptoms of a bad forward clutch piston:
