Front oil pump for the Chrysler 62TE six-speed, replacing OE 05078567 and 04659715 when line pressure drops, shifts go soft, or the pump whines.
This is a new, complete front oil pump assembly for the Chrysler 62TE six-speed transaxle, cross-referenced to OE part numbers 05078567 and 04659715. Buyers usually land here with a Grand Caravan, Town and Country, Journey, Avenger or Chrysler 200 that is slow to pick up Drive or Reverse, slips in every gear, whines with engine speed, or has set P0944 (loss of hydraulic pump prime). It is the whole pump, ready to bolt in, not a bushing or gear kit.
The 62TE is a 41TE main centerline with an underdrive compounder added behind it, and every clutch in both sections is applied with oil from this one pump. It is driven by the torque converter hub, so it turns whenever the engine runs, and it feeds the pressure regulator, the converter charge circuit, the cooler and the solenoid pack. Because the 62TE is clutch-to-clutch with no bands, a pump that cannot hold line pressure shows up in shift quality first and in burned clutches soon after. Inside the body is a pair of gears that rebuilders call squished gears; they carry assembly dots, and getting their orientation wrong is a known cause of a pump that will not prime after a rebuild.
On this transaxle the pump gets blamed for a lot of things it did not do. FCA issued a repair index for a cracked torque converter piston that throws the same P0740, P0868 and P0944 set and feels the same from the driver's seat, and it never calls for a pump by itself. Pull the codes, then drop the pan and look at the magnet and filter: clean fluid points one way, a pan full of friction material points toward a full rebuild. The 62TE also has only one usable pressure tap, main line at the lower-left pan rail, so a single line pressure reading is what you get. Our 62TE pump failure symptoms guide walks through the FCA decision tree step by step, and the 62TE common problems page covers the compounder failures that can mimic low pressure.
The listing covers Chrysler and Dodge 62TE units from 2007 on, as an interchange for 05078567 and 04659715. That takes in the Grand Caravan and Town and Country minivans, Journey, Avenger, Chrysler 200 and Sebring, plus the Ram C/V and VW Routan built on the same platform. The 62TE stayed in production a long time and Mopar supersedes numbers, so compare the part number on your old pump body or send us your year and VIN before ordering. You can see every 62TE part we carry on the 62TE collection page.
If the pan showed debris, the filter and fluid have to go with this pump; the 62TE service kit with 6 quarts of ATF+4 and filter covers that in one box. On a unit that is already apart for a slip, the 62TE master rebuild kit supplies the seals and frictions the pump will be feeding.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. It is listed as the replacement for both of those OE numbers on the 2007-and-up 62TE. Mopar supersedes numbers over time, so if your old pump carries a different number, send us the year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
Not definitely. FCA documented a cracked converter piston that sets P0944 with P0868 and P0740 while the pump is fine. Check the pan, filter and magnet first. Clean fluid with P0944 is worth more diagnosis; heavy friction material means the whole unit needs attention, not only a pump.
ATF+4 only. Chrysler warns against other fluids, additives and flushing machines on the 62TE. Fill it, start it, and set the final level hot using the factory fluid level and condition check.
No. The pump sits at the front of the case behind the converter, so the transaxle has to come out of the vehicle and the converter has to come off to reach it.
At minimum the filter, pan gasket and fluid. Inspect the converter hub and replace the converter if it is scored. If the unit was slipping long enough to burn clutches, a master rebuild kit is the right companion.
