U340E 2000, 2002-2005 Toyota Echo 1.5L FWD – Remanufactured 4-Speed Automatic Trans

Description

Command 108 horsepower and an efficient 0.700:1 fourth gear overdrive ratio while holding fluid sump temperatures below 180°F across demanding urban delivery routes inside the Toyota U340E Remanufactured Transmission tailored for 2000 and 2002 to 2005 Echo 1.5-liter front wheel drive commercial transit sedans.

Die-cast A380 aluminum transaxle casings house high-precision planetary gear carriers and micro-polished hydraulic separator plates. Upgraded valve body bores feature hard-anodized sleeves to halt hydraulic pressure drop under high operating temperatures. Driveline utility hardware includes an integrated front differential, 3/8-inch inverted flare cooler line ports, 5.9-quart fluid capacity for genuine fluid, and a 124-pound dry unit mass.

Key Features of Toyota U340E

Urban delivery networks buy Toyota U340E remanufactured transmission units to restore work vehicle mobility and eliminate transmission slip on highway acceleration ramps. Every rebuilt transaxle features re-machined valve bodies to guarantee precise line pressure regulation under heavy cargo loads.

• Hard-anodized valve body bore sleeves prevent internal hydraulic circuit pressure leakage
• High-energy carbon-metallic clutch plates withstand continuous high-speed transit shifts without glazing
• Precision balanced furnace-brazed torque converters eliminate high-speed driveline vibration
• Pulse-width modulated solenoids respond to TCM commands within 40 milliseconds for crisp gear shifts
• Toyota U340E automatic transaxles undergo full hydro-pulse dyno cell load testing before crating
• Micro-finished planetary gear tooth profiles keep transmission operating noise to absolute minimums
• Magnetic fluid pan collectors trap microscopic steel particulate to extend hydraulic valve life

Subcompact Four Speed Hydraulic Steps

Built for demanding utility fleet transit, this four-speed automatic transaxle manages 105 lb-ft continuous input torque at 4,200 RPM under 150 to 205 PSI main line circuit pressure. Sump temperature holds between 155°F and 175°F under full thermal stabilization. Gear reduction ratios deliver 2.847:1 first, 1.552:1 second, 1.000:1 third, and 0.700:1 fourth overdrive, releasing 32 BTU per minute across auxiliary cooler circuits.

Differential Axle Output Spline Profile

Power transfers straight through internal 23-spline differential side gears machined to accept OEM constant velocity halfshafts. Output journal centerline runout measures under 0.0016 inches across all rotational test points. Precision machined axle seal bores prevent transaxle fluid seepage during sharp cornering.

Valve Body Solenoid Calibration Rules

Verify that transmission cooler lines remain free of internal sludge to preserve transmission fluid cooling flow. This automatic transaxle is not engineered for competition drag racing, high-boost engine tuning, or towing trailers exceeding factory vehicle gross weight limits.

• Inspect cooler line connections and casing pan seams each shift
• Drain and refill with approved automatic transmission fluid every 30,000 miles
• Inspect electronic wiring harness connectors for corrosion every 12 months

Fleet Warranty Crate Asset Inclusion

Guaranteed by an ironclad 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty, this gearbox package protects fleet investments. The reinforced crate encloses one remanufactured four-speed automatic transaxle, precision balanced torque converter, replacement cooler line seal washers, and an ATSG dynamometer pass document.
