62TE Shift Kit 2008-2019, new and ready to install. Fits the 62TE. Ships fast from the USA.
Owners searching for a 62TE shift kit for a 2008-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, Journey or Chrysler Town and Country usually have one of three complaints: the van drops into third gear and stays there, it bangs into gear after sitting, or the check engine light shows a transmission solenoid code. This package answers the electrical side of those problems. As pictured, it is a 62TE shift solenoid control block (the solenoid pack that bolts to the valve body) supplied with a new pan filter and a pan gasket, so the whole in-pan service is done in one visit.
The 62TE is a six-speed front-drive transaxle with no throttle cable and no mechanical shift valves deciding when to change gear. The transmission controller commands every clutch through solenoids in this block, and pressure switches in the same housing confirm that each clutch circuit actually filled. Because several 62TE shifts swap two clutches at once, a solenoid that responds a little slowly turns a smooth 2-3 or 3-4 into a flare followed by a hard bump. If a pressure switch reading does not match the command, the controller sets a code and falls back to third gear, which is the built-in limp mode the Grand Caravan owner's manual describes.
Check the fluid first. The six-speed has a capped fill tube with no dipstick, and Chrysler bulletin 21-046-15 traced harsh shifting under hard acceleration on some 2015 vans to units that left the plant under-filled, so a level check with the service dipstick is the cheapest test there is. Next, make sure the controller software is current: bulletin 18-069-15 reflashed 2014 Grand Caravan and Town and Country 3.6L models for harsh garage shifts after a short shutdown and harsh upshifts after lifting off the throttle. With those ruled out, measure the block at its round case connector. Rebuilders use pin 10 as the shared power pin and expect roughly 1.8 ohms across each shift solenoid. An open or shorted reading condemns the block; good readings with persistent harsh shifts point back toward the valve body. Our 62TE shift solenoid symptoms guide and Journey 62TE shift problems article cover the full test sequence.
This listing covers 62TE applications from 2008 through 2019. In that window the 62TE went into the V6 Grand Caravan and Town and Country minivans and the V6 Dodge Journey, among others. Some of these nameplates also came with a four-speed automatic, so confirm you have the six-speed before buying: the six-speed uses the capped fill tube, while the four-speed has a conventional dipstick. Block revisions changed over the years, so compare the part number on the label of your old block and the shape of its connector with the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it for you. Every part we stock for this transmission is on the 62TE collection page.
For van-specific symptoms, the Grand Caravan 62TE guide walks through the most common failure patterns by year.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Despite the shift kit title, the photo shows a complete 62TE solenoid control block with a filter and pan gasket. It replaces the electrical solenoid pack; it does not change valve body calibration the way a hydraulic shift kit does.
If the Journey has the V6 and six-speed 62TE, it is within the 2008-2019 range. Four-cylinder Journeys used a different automatic, so confirm the capped fill tube or send us your VIN.
ATF+4 only. Check the level hot with the engine running using the service dipstick, since the six-speed has no regular dipstick.
Yes. Clear the stored codes and run the quick learn so the controller relearns clutch volumes. Skipping it can leave harsh or slipping shifts until it adapts.
Third gear is the 62TE limp mode, so the block is a common cause but not the only one. Read the codes, check fluid level and wiring, and measure solenoid resistance before replacing parts.
