The 62TE six-speed automatic was launched in 2007 with the 3.5 liter V6 on the Sebring and Avenger, and with the 4.0 liter Pacifica. It then rolled into minivans including the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country. With some case modifications from 2010 to 2011 updates were completed to help with the durability of the 62TE platform. This transmission is now used in the Ram Promasters cargo vans and rated for a higher payload. Show
Here is some information to help you get to know the 62TE Transmission better. 62TE Transmission Specifications
Checking the Transmission FluidThe 62TE does not come with a dipstick, but one can still check the fluid level by taking the cap off the dipstick tube; the cap can be re-used or a replacement cap can be purchase. We suggest using a length of the flexible speedometer cable while listening for a light "thunk" as it hits the pan pottem. There is also a tool for finding the fluid level which can be purchased at the dealer or most parts stores. The 62TE transmission requires Chrysler made ATF+4 synthetic type 9602 fluid for proper operation of the internal components. Problems have been known to arise in the transmission when too much, too little, or wrong transmission fluid are used. Therefore, Chrysler advises to take the vehicle to the dealership when transmission maintenance is due. About the Automatic TransaxleThe 62TE six-speed automatic transaxle was based on Chrysler’s existing four speed automatic with two new primary gear ratios and a secondary ratio for passing at highway speeds. The first gear ratio was much lower, to increase standing-start acceleration; and the differential was beefed up to handle more power. The two extra gear ratios were added by replacing the transfer shaft with a compounder. Smaller steps between ratios helped smooth shifting, as the engine speed doesn't change as greatly with each shift, while the wider range allowed both quicker acceleration and better mileage at highway speeds. The 62TE's second gear was a considerable distance from first, and all other gears were fairly close together. The fifth gear was a 1:1 ratio; the overdrive gear was similar to the four speed. Vehicles that have the 62TE TransmissionMany Chrysler vehicles have the 62TE transmissions. Below is a list of vehicles with the 62TE.
Common Issues with the 62TESlipping, Erratic Shifting, Harsh Forward or Reverse Gear Engagement:Some of the most common 62TE transmission problems are slipping between gears, erratic up or down shifts, or a hard slam when the 62TE transmission engages Drive or Reverse. Design flaws account for numerous problems in the transmission. Any one of these could be causing the symptoms. Engine stalls while in drive or during coast down - 62TE transmission Problem: Drivers may notice an engine stall when they place the gear selector into drive. They may also notice the engines starts to run excessively rough or stalls when they are coasting to a stop. Solution: These 62TE transmission problems may be caused by mechanical failure with the electronically modulated converter clutch variable force solenoid / EMCC VFS solenoid, which can cause the torque converter clutch to engage when it shouldn't. To fix the problem, the EMCC solenoid will need to be replaced. Other Issues that may not be related to the 62TESometimes not all issues are related to the transmission itself and instead can be found in the command side including wiring, Modules, and input sensors as found in this article Even Common Conditions are Sometimes Wrong.
