62TE Shift Kit 2007-2014

This 2007-2014 listing is titled as a shift kit, yet what ships is a tested 62TE shift solenoid control block with a filter and a pan gasket. The year range lines up with the first generation of 62TE sedans: the Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring and the Chrysler 200 that replaced it. If one of those cars, or a minivan or Ram ProMaster van of the same era, has started shifting hard, holding a single gear or setting transmission solenoid codes, the block is the electrical heart of the problem and this kit replaces it along with the service parts.

How the block runs a 62TE

The 62TE builds six forward speeds from a four-speed core plus a rear compounder, so many shifts are double swaps where one clutch releases while another applies within a fraction of a second. The block makes that happen. It holds the low/reverse, 2-4, overdrive, underdrive, low and direct clutch solenoids, the line pressure solenoid and the fluid temperature sensor, and it feeds pressure switch signals back to the controller through the round case connector. When a solenoid sticks or a switch reads wrong, the timing of those double swaps falls apart and you feel it as a bang or a flare.

Symptoms on the sedans

• Harsh or late upshifts, especially 2-3 and 3-4, on a warm engine
• Third-gear limp mode with solenoid circuit codes such as P0750 or P0765
• Pressure switch rationality codes, for example P0871 on the overdrive circuit
• Shifts that flare and then catch hard after the car has sat overnight
• Gear ratio errors that clear and return after a restart

Check the software and wiring before you buy

For 2012-2013 Avenger and 200 models with the 3.6L or 2.4L, Chrysler bulletin 21-013-12 added an upshift torque management flash and asks the technician to confirm charging voltage first. A weak charging system or a reflash that was never done can mimic a bad block. After that, test the block at the case connector with pin 10 as the common power pin: shift solenoids near 1.8 ohms, the line pressure solenoid near 4.9 ohms. If the numbers are right but the shifts are still harsh, the cause is usually hydraulic.

Fitment

The application list attached to this kit names the 2007-2014 Dodge Avenger, 2007-2010 Chrysler Sebring, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200 and 2007-2008 Pacifica, and also runs past this title's 2014 cut-off: 2008-2016 Town and Country, 2008-2019 Grand Caravan, 2009-2019 Journey, 2012-2015 Ram C/V and 2014-2017 Ram ProMaster. Listed references are 68376696AA, 05078709AB, 68371508AA, 5078555AA and 68018555AA. Look at the number printed on your old block and compare connectors, or send us your year and VIN and we will match it. Browse every part for the transmission on our 62TE collection page.

Install notes

• The block comes off with the transmission in the car. Disconnect the battery and support the pan while you remove its bolts.
• The line pressure sensor and TCC solenoid stay on the valve body and transfer over; inspect their seals while you are there.
• Fit the supplied filter and pan gasket. If the valve body shows bore wear, the 62TE valve body for 2007-2016 is the more complete repair.
• Refill with ATF+4, set the level hot and run the quick learn with a scan tool so the controller relearns clutch fill times.
• For a teardown, pair it with the 62TE overhaul kit.

Does this kit change shift firmness like a shift kit?

No. It is a replacement 62TE solenoid control block with a filter and pan gasket. Shift feel returns to factory once the controller relearns.

Will it fit my 2013 Chrysler 200?

The listing covers the 2011-2014 Chrysler 200. Confirm the part number on your old block or send us your year and VIN.

Should I get the bulletin flash first?

Yes, on 2012-2013 Avenger and 200 models make sure bulletin 21-013-12 has been applied and charging voltage is normal before replacing parts.

Can I reuse my line pressure sensor?

Yes. The sensor and the TCC solenoid mount on the valve body and are not part of the block, so they transfer over.

What fluid does the 62TE use?

ATF+4 only. No other fluid or additive is approved.
