62TE Clutch Drum, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 62TE. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a remanufactured clutch drum for the Chrysler 62TE six-speed, the transaxle used from 2007 on in the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Journey, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200 and Sebring, Pacifica and VW Routan. It is the budget option among our 62TE drums: a used core cleaned, inspected and put back into service, for a rebuilder or do-it-yourselfer who has a unit apart on the bench and found a cracked, scored or worn drum that cannot go back in.
The 62TE is two transmissions in one case. The front half is the 41TE four-speed, with an input clutch assembly that houses the underdrive, overdrive and reverse clutches and turns with the input shaft. The rear half is the underdrive compounder Chrysler added to get six ratios, with its own low clutch and direct clutch. Each drum is a rotating housing that carries a clutch pack, the piston that squeezes it, and the machined ring lands where sealing rings hold apply pressure. A drum that is cracked, has worn lugs, or has grooves that let oil past the rings will make its clutch slip no matter how fresh the frictions are.
The photo on this listing shows the drum assembled on its shaft, with a toothed ring around the rim and lugged slots near the open end. Use that photo as your reference when you compare it to the drum you removed.
Drums are a teardown diagnosis. Before the unit comes out, confirm the fluid level with the proper dipstick, read codes, and make sure the TCM software is current, since many 62TE shift complaints are cured with a flash. GEARS magazine's 62TE article puts software first for exactly this reason. Once it is apart, look at the ring lands, the lugs where the steels ride, the snap ring groove and the bushing, and air-check each clutch. The 62TE common problems and fixes guide lists the failure patterns, and the Journey 62TE problems guide shows how they show up on the crossover.
This listing does not name a year range, so match it by the part, not by the vehicle. The 62TE has more than one drum, and Chrysler updated compounder parts over the life of the transaxle. Compare the shaft, the spline count, the outside teeth and the ring grooves on your old drum to the photo. If you want it checked, send the year, VIN and the transmission tag number and we will confirm the match before shipping. If your drum is the compounder's low clutch drum, a new 62TE clutch drum for 2009-2012 is also available. All 62TE parts are on the 62TE collection page.
A drum goes in during a full overhaul, so pair it with the 62TE master rebuild kit for frictions, steels and seals, and a fresh 62TE pan and filter kit so debris from the old drum does not circulate through the new one.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The listing describes it as a 62TE clutch drum without a year range. The photo shows it assembled on its shaft. Compare it to the drum you removed, or send us your year, VIN and transmission tag number and we will confirm it is the one you need.
It is a used core that has been cleaned, inspected and returned to service rather than a new casting. It costs less than a new drum. Inspect the ring lands and bushing yourself before assembly, as you would with any used hard part.
Slipping in the gears that clutch serves, ratio codes like P0735 with a 1-2 slip, aluminum in the pan, and burned clutches on a unit that was rebuilt recently.
ATF+4 only. Chrysler warns against other fluids, additives and flushing on the six-speed.
A master rebuild kit for frictions, steels and seals, a pan and filter kit, and new sealing rings for the drum. A clutch drum puller makes removal easier without bending the housing.
