About this product

If your Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Journey, Chrysler 200, Sebring, Avenger or VW Routan has locked itself into a single forward gear, drops to neutral at highway speed, or keeps storing solenoid circuit codes, the solenoid kit is the part most people end up researching. This new 62TE assembly is listed for 2006-2018. The main photo shows its underside, the face that seals against the transmission, with the bonded seal beads and fine screens molded into the oil passages, plus two short pigtail leads with their own connectors. That sealing face is where a used or tired assembly often hides debris, which is one reason a new unit is worth the money.

What the solenoid kit does in a 62TE

The 62TE has no shift valves moved by a governor or throttle cable. The computer applies every clutch by switching solenoids in this pack: low/reverse, 2/4, low clutch, underdrive, overdrive and direct clutch. Four of those six are normally closed and two, underdrive and 2/4, are normally open. That detail explains the classic failure behavior. When the computer shuts the pack off, only the two normally open circuits still feed oil, and underdrive plus 2/4 gives third gear, which is the designed limp-in gear. The same housing carries the line pressure solenoid, the temperature sensor and five pressure switches that report back whether each clutch actually applied.

Symptoms of a failing 62TE solenoid kit

How to confirm the pack is the problem

Do the testing at the 23-way case connector before you drain anything. Pin 10 is the shared power feed, so with the connector unplugged, measure from pin 10 to each solenoid pin; at room temperature a healthy shift solenoid reads close to 1.8 ohms and the line pressure solenoid close to 4.9 ohms. One solenoid open or far from the others condemns the pack. Several codes at once with good readings usually point to the relay feed, the connector or voltage supply instead. Our 62TE shift solenoid symptoms guide lists the pin chart and the scan tool checks, and the 62TE valve body and solenoid failures guide covers the switch valve problems that can mimic a bad pack.

Fitment for the 2006-2018 range

The listing says 2006-2018, but the 62TE did not reach production until the 2007 model year in the Sebring 3.5L and Pacifica 4.0L, with the minivans following for 2008. In practice this kit serves 2007-2018 62TE vehicles. Several of those models were also built with four-speed transaxles depending on engine, so confirm your vehicle has the 62TE before ordering. Then compare the round case connector, the two pigtail connectors and the bolt pattern in the photos with your old unit, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Every part we carry for this unit is on the 62TE parts page.

Install notes

Converter shudder or a lockup complaint is a separate circuit: the 62TE TCC solenoid bolts to the valve body and is tested on its own.

62TE Solenoid Kit 2006-2018: common questions

Is there really a 2006 62TE?

No production vehicle used the 62TE before the 2007 model year, when it launched in the Chrysler Sebring 3.5L and Pacifica 4.0L. If your vehicle is a 2006, it almost certainly has a four-speed transaxle, so check before ordering.

Why does my van only drive in third gear?

That is the 62TE limp-in strategy. When the computer sees a solenoid or relay fault it turns the pack off, and the two normally open solenoids, underdrive and 2/4, together give third gear plus reverse. The fault that triggered it still has to be found and fixed.

What should I replace along with the solenoid kit?

At minimum a new filter, pan gasket and fresh ATF+4, since the pan must come off. Also replace the case connector O-ring and inspect the connector pins for corrosion. If the old fluid is dark and full of friction material, the clutches are worn and a rebuild kit belongs in the plan too.

Can I test the old pack without removing it?

Yes. Unplug the 23-way case connector and measure resistance from pin 10 to each solenoid pin. Shift solenoids should read about 1.8 ohms and the line pressure solenoid about 4.9 ohms at roughly 70 F.

Do I need a scan tool after installing it?

Yes. Clear the stored codes and run the 62TE quick learn so the computer relearns clutch volumes. Without it, shifts can feel harsh or soft until the adaptives settle.
