62TE Sprag Clutch 2007, used and ready to install. Fits the 62TE. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a used OEM overrunning clutch, the sprag, for the 2007 Chrysler 62TE six-speed. 2007 was the first model year for the 62TE. Behind the 3.5L V6 it went into the JS Chrysler Sebring, and behind the 4.0L V6 into the CS Pacifica, a year before the minivans and the Journey got it. If your first-year unit flares on the 1-2 shift, feels neutral for a moment pulling away, or slips only in certain gears while the rest hold, the compounder sprag is one of the parts on the short list. This is a direct replacement and comes with a 1-year warranty.
The 62TE is basically a 41TE four-speed with an underdrive compounder bolted onto the transfer shaft. The compounder has a low clutch, a direct clutch, a planetary set and this overrunning clutch, and it runs in either reduction or direct mode. The main box ratios get multiplied by the compounder state, and that is how Chrysler got six speeds out of a four-speed core.
The sprag locks one way and freewheels the other, so the compounder can change state without the TCM having to time a clutch release exactly. ATRA's 62TE update says the sprag holds in first, third and fourth, which is why the 1-2, 2-1, 4-5 and 5-4 shifts feel smooth. It also covers the handoff into 4th prime, the 1.573 ratio the TCM uses on a 6-4 kickdown to avoid a double swap. Third is also the limp-home gear, and the sprag holds in third.
A lot of 62TE shift complaints are software, fluid or solenoid problems, so check those first. Set the level with a scan tool reading fluid temperature, look for stored codes, and make sure the TCM has the latest flash. Our 62TE shift problems guide explains which shifts the sprag smooths and which ones are clutch timing. If the slip only shows up in first, third and fourth and the fluid looks clean, the compounder has to come out. Pull the valve body and the three compounder feed tubes, take out the snap ring, and remove the assembly. Hold the inner race and spin the outer race by hand. It should freewheel one way and lock solid the other, with no rough spots and no chipped or polished elements. The 62TE common problems guide covers the other compounder failures you should check while it is apart.
This listing is for the 62TE in 2007 applications. The compounder was updated over the 62TE's life, and shift feel changed between early and late compounders, so treat the year as a starting point and not a guarantee. Compare the race splines and overall size to the sprag you are taking out. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN before ordering. Later vans, the Journey and the Avenger all appear on the 62TE parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
This listing is for 2007 62TE units. The compounder was revised over the years, so compare the race splines and size to your old sprag, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fitment before it ships.
Per ATRA, it holds in first, third and fourth and handles the nonsynchronous handoff into 4th prime on a 6-4 kickdown. A slipping sprag shows up in those gears and on the 1-2, 2-1, 4-5 and 5-4 shifts.
The outer race ID groove faces down, and with the assembly together the outer race should turn counterclockwise with the drum held. If it locks the wrong way, the van will have no first gear or will bind.
Inspect the scarf-cut sealing rings, the direct clutch piston for delamination and the low clutch frictions. Most rebuilders install a seal kit and set low clutch clearance with air while it is apart.
ATF+4 only, with no additives. Set the level at operating temperature with a scan tool and a service stick, then clear adaptives and let the TCM relearn.
