62TE Solenoid Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the 62TE. Ships fast from the USA.
This new 62TE solenoid kit is pictured as a complete package: the solenoid pack with its round 23-way connector and green case O-ring, already mounted to its housing, alongside a replacement filter and pan gasket. It is aimed at owners of 62TE-equipped Grand Caravans, Town & Countrys, Journeys, Routans, Chrysler 200s, Sebrings and Avengers who are dealing with a transmission that drops into a default gear, launches in second, or shifts with a bang. Because the listing carries no model years, fitment comes down to matching the unit itself, which we explain below.
The 62TE is a six-speed transaxle built from a four-speed main section plus an underdrive compounder, and every shift is clutch-to-clutch under computer control. The pack holds six shift solenoids, the line pressure variable-force solenoid, the fluid temperature sensor and five pressure switches. The switches are the part most buyers overlook. They watch the low/reverse, 2/4, direct, low and overdrive clutch circuits and tell the computer whether pressure really arrived. When a switch reads wrong, the computer protects the unit by refusing first gear and torque converter lockup, so the vehicle pulls away in second and never locks up until the key is cycled.
Start with the connector, not the pack. ATRA's 62TE update points out that the pressure switch circuits use gold terminals while the solenoid circuits use tin, and a green, corroded tin pin can set a circuit code on a perfectly good solenoid. Clean and check pin fit, verify battery voltage at pin 10 with the key on, then meter each solenoid from pin 10. If one coil reads open or well off the roughly 1.8 ohm spec, replace the pack. If everything reads good but codes return, see whether the trouble is hydraulic. Our 62TE shift solenoid guide walks through the switch states by gear, and 62TE common problems covers underdrive clutch and pump wear that no solenoid can fix.
The 62TE went into production for 2007 and served Chrysler, Dodge and VW front-drive vans, crossovers and midsize cars through the 2020 model year. Many of those nameplates were also sold with a four-speed or nine-speed transaxle depending on engine and year, so the first step is confirming your vehicle has a 62TE. After that, compare the 23-way connector, the pigtail leads and the mounting points in the photo against your old pack. If anything is unclear, send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Other 62TE parts are listed on our 62TE collection page.
A worn pump produces low line pressure that makes every shift look like a solenoid fault, so if a pressure test comes up short, the 62TE front oil pump assembly is the next stop. When the old fluid is burnt, plan on the 62TE overhaul kit as well.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The 62TE was used from 2007 through 2020 in front-drive Chrysler, Dodge and VW models including the Grand Caravan, Town & Country, Journey, Routan, Sebring, Avenger and Chrysler 200. Several of these were also built with other transaxles, so confirm yours before ordering.
When one of the five pressure switches reports the wrong state, the computer inhibits first gear and converter lockup until the condition clears. A failed switch inside the pack is one cause; a real pressure loss in that clutch circuit is the other.
The product photo shows the solenoid pack assembly together with a filter and pan gasket. If you need to confirm exact contents for your application, send us your year and VIN before ordering.
ATF+4 only. Check the level hot with the engine running after the install.
No programming is needed for the pack itself, but you should clear codes and perform the quick learn with a scan tool so shift timing adapts to the new solenoids.
