Clearing up common misconceptions about the Chrysler 62TE 

Stumbled on this comment. It's interesting. Your point is the 4 speed would have 1 less overdrive gear, thus more power?

@@kipamore The 6 speed may allow the engine to reach a higher top speed, but with in town driving it makes the 3.8L V6 engine a slug. The 4 speed was a better match for the 3.8L engines power and torque dynamic. The 3.6L is a higher revving engine so the 6 speed may be the best match for it, but maybe not. The 3.6L has never been mated to anything less than the 6 speed and now they are mated to 8 and 9 speed transmissions.

@@grawey77 Fun fact: the 62TE is really just a 41TE with a compounder. It’s actually an 8 speed, but two of the ratios are so close the it’s programmed to use one going up and the other going down. Another fun fact: in the Promaster, users report that the new 9 speed NEVER shifts into 8th or 9th. Not surprising, since a 9500# van just isnt going to loaf along at 1400rpm.

I have a 2010 3.8 with the 62te, and have driven many vans with the 3.8 and even its little brother the 3.3 backed by the 41te and I totally agree with you. That 4 speed is just geared perfectly for those motors and the 6 speed besides shifting quick just doesnt have any advantages imo.

I m also curious to know about the symptoms when we should replace EPC vs TCC. In another video it was mentioned that TCC symptoms are Engine trying to stall or causes vibration when coming to stop but more details should be available so we can address the real issue instead of making a guess.. For an instance, my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan causes a little bit of jerk when I shift from "P" to "R" or "N" from "R", the problem is intermittent and I feel it harder when vehicle warms up. Vehicle drives smoothly otherwise so I believe it to be more of an electrical than mechanical problem but I couldn't find enough discussion on 62TE to isolate and fix the real issue

Go to the dealer and get them to check for current PCM software version. There was a flash for this issue. I was a Chrysler tech for 5yrs. P0740 will usually set for TCC issues. Shudder will be felt.

That 1st solenoid easier to get to usually fixes what u have going on hope that helps

Reset LVP counters. You’ll need a scanner

I have a 2016 caravan. I’m having the same problem. I’ve changed the solenoid that is above the trans control module and the filter and fluid and it’s still showing same code and stuck in limp mode. Any suggestions???

@@calebsmith6147 I have a 2011 dodge caravan turns On fine soon as I put it in gear it Boggs out an wants to shut off ima change the whole valve body and shift solenoid since I’m already there alone with filter. Did you change valve body ?

your direct clutch solenoid failed just swap solenoid pack and TCC solenoid youll be so happy. Had the same thing happen to me

We are on the same boat ima thinking about junking jt there transmission 62te are trash I saw another guy said he’s gone thru 3😂

@@hiddenghost9200 yeah, i’m also having the dreaded rocker arm tick. it’s a terrible situation for me because i still pay a note on it and can’t trade it in at the moment.

just use what your manual says to use, you’ll void the warranty and risks running into issues using other fluid

It's safer to stick with a "true" ATF+4 regardless of what a company lists for compatibility. With how additives can impregante seals, gaskets, and surface material you're generally safer using the same "known value" fluid. For the 62TE a good practice to ensure lifespan is a fluid change every 35-50k miles with a filter replacement every 2nd change.

Hi Amber, our friends at Transtar let us know that the part number for the solenoid is 132431. Hope that helps!

​@TransmissionDigest will it make it trip the p01745 code on a 2009 chrysler town and country

I just got a code P0869 trans code and slipping in 2nd, and third. Did my research and ordered the solenoid pack and the outer solenoid. As soon as parts get here, going to replace these and hope this is a fix. What did you find for a code P0868?

They are not junk as you say. Reason is very simple if you understand what AAMCO stand for "All Automatic Must Come out" and that is no joke that is what stands for it's the only way they can make money there is no money to be made by fixing and if you are lucky maybe you can fix problems sometime but have no way to know what condition is inside. I got lucky by replacing solenoid pack once and it did work for 3 years but now I am rebuilding my self the whole transmission it's not that hard at least not for me.
