62TE Overhaul Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the 62TE. Ships fast from the USA.
Most 62TE rebuilds in Grand Caravans, Town and Countrys, Journeys, Avengers and Chrysler 200s come down to two things: seals that no longer hold apply pressure and a drum whose ring lands have worn enough to bleed oil away from a clutch. This overhaul package is built around that job. The product photo shows a boxed overhaul gasket and seal set with the valve body separator plate gasket, pan gasket, O-rings and lip seals, packaged with a replacement clutch drum, a filter and an additional boxed component. It suits a rebuilder who has already priced frictions and steels separately, or whose clutch packs measured within specification but whose unit leaks or loses pressure.
Inside a 62TE, pressure from the pump is routed by the valve body to seven clutches. Five live on the main line, carried over from the 41TE design, and two more, low and direct, sit in the underdrive compounder on the transfer shaft. Oil travels from the case through sealing rings riding on rotating shafts and drums, then pushes a sealed piston to clamp each pack. When a sealing ring wears into its groove or a lip seal goes hard, that clutch fills slowly, slips during the shift and overheats its frictions. The gaskets, rings and seals in this kit restore those circuits, and the included drum addresses the land wear that new seals alone cannot fix.
Many harsh-shift complaints on 2011-2013 minivans and sedans were addressed by a Chrysler controller flash, so check for updated software before you plan a teardown. A delayed Reverse or delayed first gear can also come from a worn low/reverse switch valve bore in the valve body, which Sonnax diagnoses with a vacuum test at the bore. Work through the Grand Caravan 62TE shift problems guide for the test order, and the Journey 62TE problems guide for what a typical high-mileage failure looks like once the pan is down.
This listing is not tied to a single year range. The 62TE was built for 2007-2020 Chrysler Town and Country, Pacifica and 200, Dodge Grand Caravan, Journey and Avenger, and the VW Routan, and Chrysler revised drums, pistons and valve body parts during that run. Compare the drum in this kit against the one in your unit, match the separator plate gasket to your valve body, and send us your year and VIN if anything looks different. Every 62TE part we carry is listed on the 62TE collection page.
If your clutch packs measured worn or burnt during teardown, step up to a kit that includes frictions and steels rather than reusing them with new seals.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Based on the product photo, the package is built around seals, gaskets, a filter and a clutch drum rather than a full set of frictions and steels. If your packs are worn, pair it with a friction kit or choose a master rebuild kit instead.
On the 62TE, the sealing ring lands in the low clutch drum wear over time. Once the lands are worn, new rings still leak and the compounder sets ratio codes such as P0735, so a new drum is a common part of a 62TE overhaul.
The 62TE was used in 2007-2020 Grand Caravan, Town and Country, Journey, Avenger, Chrysler 200, Pacifica and VW Routan. Match the drum and separator plate gasket to your unit or send us your VIN to confirm.
Yes. Chrysler released controller flashes for harsh shifts on many 2011-2013 62TE vehicles. A software update is cheap to try and can resolve shift-feel complaints that are not mechanical.
Fill with ATF+4 only and check the level hot with the service dipstick. Then reset the adaptive clutch values with a scan tool and drive through every gear so the controller relearns.
