About this product

Shoppers looking for a 62TE shift kit for 2006-2018 often land here, but this package is something different and more useful for a minivan that has gone into limp mode: a remanufactured 62TE shift solenoid control block plus a new filter and pan gasket. It is aimed at the high-mileage Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Journey that flashes the check engine light, holds one gear, or bangs into gear, and it covers everything you touch when the pan comes down.

What the solenoid control block does in a 62TE

Every shift in the 62TE is an electrical decision. The control block bolts to the top of the valve body and routes fluid to the clutches through six shift solenoids, while a separate line pressure solenoid in the same block sets overall pressure. Five pressure switches report back which clutch circuit really applied, and a temperature sensor tells the controller how warm the fluid is. Wear inside one solenoid, or debris lodged in a pressure switch port, is enough to make the controller distrust the whole transmission and hold it in a single gear to protect it.

The kit does not include the line pressure sensor or the torque converter clutch solenoid. Those mount directly to the valve body and are serviced on their own.

Symptoms on minivans and crossovers

Rule out software and hydraulics first

On 2011-2013 Grand Caravan and Town and Country vans, harsh 1-3 shifts in ECO mode, harsh 2-3 upshifts and a 1-2 clunk after lifting off the throttle were addressed by Chrysler service bulletin 21-012-12, which is a controller reflash, not a part. Make sure that update is done before replacing hardware. Delayed reverse can also come from a worn low/reverse switch valve bore in the valve body. To test the block itself, measure at the case connector with pin 10 as power: about 1.8 ohms on each shift solenoid, about 4.9 ohms on the line pressure solenoid. Our Grand Caravan 62TE shift problems guide and Town and Country 62TE guide lay out the full diagnosis.

Fitment

The listing gives these applications: 2007-2008 Chrysler Pacifica, 2007-2010 Sebring, 2007-2014 Dodge Avenger, 2008-2016 Town and Country, 2008-2019 Grand Caravan, 2009-2019 Journey, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2012-2015 Ram C/V and 2014-2017 Ram ProMaster 1500, 2500 and 3500. It cross-references 68376696AA, 05078709AB, 68371508AA, 5078555AA and 68018555AA. Although the title reads 2006-2018, no 62TE vehicle was built for 2006. Compare the part number on your old block and the shape of its connector, or send us your year and VIN to confirm. See all parts for this transmission on the 62TE collection page.

62TE Shift Kit 2006-2018: common questions

Is this a shift kit or a solenoid block?

It is a remanufactured 62TE shift solenoid control block packaged with a filter and pan gasket. It does not recalibrate the valve body.

Does it fit my 2015 Grand Caravan?

The listing covers 2008-2019 Grand Caravan. Confirm the part number on your old block or send us your year and VIN.

Is the TCC solenoid included?

No. The TCC variable force solenoid and the line pressure sensor bolt to the valve body separately and are not in this kit.

Do I need a flash after installing it?

On 2011-2013 Caravan and Town and Country vans, check that bulletin 21-012-12 has been applied. After any block replacement, clear codes and run the quick learn.

How much fluid does it take?

A pan drop takes only part of the total fill. Refill with ATF+4 and set the level hot at the capped fill tube.
