62TE Planetary 2011-2020, used and ready to install. Fits the 62TE. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a used, factory 62TE planetary for the 2011-2020 run of Chrysler's six-speed transaxle, the years it spent in the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Journey, Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. People land on this page with a unit apart on the bench and a gearset that whines, has chewed pinions or a stripped spline, or with a stored ratio code that sent them into the compounder. A used OEM gearset costs far less than a new assembly from the dealer and drops straight into the same location.
The 62TE is a 41TE four-speed with a second gear train, the underdrive compounder, added on the transfer shaft. That gives it two places where planetary gears do the work. The main centerline keeps the 41TE front and rear planetary sets, and the transfer shaft speed sensor still reads the front annulus and rear carrier assembly. The compounder adds its own planetary set, worked by a low clutch, a direct clutch and a sprag, and the output speed sensor reads the compounder output carrier.
The compounder runs in one of two modes. In direct it passes the main centerline ratio through unchanged. In reduction it multiplies it by about 1.45. TransGo's ratio chart shows how that builds the gears: 2nd is 2.842 in direct and becomes 4.127 first gear in reduction, the 1.573 ratio becomes 2.284 third, and 1.000 becomes 1.452 fourth. So a worn compounder gearset makes noise or slips in 1st, 3rd and 4th, while a worn main centerline set shows up in the gears that set carries.
A planetary is a bench diagnosis, not a scan-tool one. Start with the software and the easy faults: our 62TE common problems guide covers the TCC solenoid stumble and the valve body faults that also cause shift complaints. If you have ratio codes, watch the speed sensor data while the fault happens, then pull the compounder. ATRA notes there is an adjustable shim between the compounder sun gear and the planet, and GEARS recommends fully disassembling the compounder even on low-mileage units to inspect every bearing, spline, ring land and snap ring groove. Spin each pinion, rock it for play, and look at the sun gear and carrier splines. For van owners, the Grand Caravan 62TE problems guide lists what fails most on those units.
The listing covers 62TE transaxles from 2011 through 2020. Since a 62TE can mean the main centerline gearset or the compounder gearset, compare the photo with the part you removed, matching the carrier, the gear count and the splines on the shaft, before you order. Chrysler revised compounder parts over the years and Mopar now lists the complete updated compounder as 05078815AD, so matching what you have matters. If you are not sure, send us your year, VIN and the transaxle tag number and we will check it. Earlier units are covered by our 62TE planetary for 2007, and every part we stock for this transmission is on the 62TE collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for 62TE transaxles from 2011 to 2020, which includes the 2014 Grand Caravan. Because the 62TE has a main centerline gearset and a separate compounder gearset, compare the photo with your old part or send us your VIN and transaxle tag number and we will confirm it before it ships.
The compounder is in reduction for 1st, 3rd and 4th, so a worn compounder gearset usually shows up in those gears. In 2nd, 5th and 6th it runs in direct, so noise that only happens there points more toward the main centerline gearsets.
Yes. Those incorrect ratio codes mean the TCM saw a ratio it did not command, and GEARS magazine notes that P0732 with P0735 usually means something has failed in the compounder. A gearset, clutch or drum can cause it, so inspect the whole compounder.
Clean it, spin every pinion to feel for roughness, rock each one for end play and look closely at the splines and thrust surfaces. It is an original factory part, so you install it with new thrust washers or bearings if yours are worn.
ATF+4 only. The owner's manuals warn against other fluids, additives and flushing. Fill through the capped fill tube, check the level with the service dipstick at temperature, then run the quick learn.
