Stellar Automotive Group U140/U240/U241 Direct Piston Retainer fits Toyota 98-Up

Stellar Automotive Group U140/U240/U241 Direct Clutch Piston Retainer (Bonded) – Compatible for Toyota & Lexus 1998-Up

Stop slipping in 3rd-4th gears, delayed upshifts, and burnt direct clutches with this precision bonded retainer from Stellar Automotive Group.

This direct-replacement retainer secures the direct clutch piston and return spring in perfect alignment. The factory retainer commonly warps or loses its bond under heat and mileage, causing internal leakage that weakens direct apply — leading to flare on upshifts, slipping under load, and rapid clutch failure. This upgraded bonded steel retainer with permanently bonded rubber seal restores full line pressure, delivers crisp 3rd-to-4th transitions, and protects your direct clutch pack for reliable daily driving or light towing.

Perfect fit for popular models including:

• Toyota Camry, Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Solara
• Lexus RX300

Symptoms of a failing direct retainer:

• Flare or slip on 3-4 upshift
• Delayed engagement in direct gear
• Harsh shifts when clutches finally grab
• Burnt direct frictions on teardown

Don’t let a warped retainer cost you an entire clutch pack — install the Stellar Automotive Group bonded direct piston retainer and shift strong through every gear.
