62TE Transmission Differential Case Cover 04753192AA

Red ATF+4 dripping from the lower side of the transaxle on a 3.6L Grand Caravan, Town & Country, Journey or Ram ProMaster is not always a pan gasket or an axle seal. When the cover that closes off the differential side of the 62TE case has a pitted flange, a cracked ear or stripped bolt holes, no amount of fresh sealant will keep it dry. This is a replacement cast aluminum case cover made to the OE 04753192AA number, supplied with two mounting bolts, so you can swap the damaged casting instead of hunting for a used one or replacing the whole transaxle.

What the differential cover does in a 62TE

The 62TE is a transverse front-drive transaxle, so the differential and final drive live inside the same case as the gear train and share its ATF+4. The cover closes the case around the differential and, as the photos show, has a machined bearing bore cast into its inside face, so it is part of what locates the differential, not just a lid. Because the differential runs in transmission fluid, any leak at this cover drains the same oil the clutches and solenoids depend on. A 62TE that runs low on fluid is a 62TE that starts shifting harshly, which Chrysler documented in bulletin 21-046-15.

Signs you need a new cover, not just new sealant

• A steady wet seep at the cover-to-case joint that comes back after a proper clean and reseal.
• Corrosion pits or gouges across the sealing flange, often from a pry bar used to pop the cover loose.
• Stripped or pulled threads, or a cracked mounting ear after an impact or an over-torqued bolt.
• Fluid level dropping between checks, followed by harsh or late shifts once the level gets low enough.
• Wetness that is clearly at the cover rather than the axle seal, pan rail or cooler lines.

How to confirm the leak before you buy

Pressure-wash the underside, drive a few miles and look again; ATF climbs and spreads, so the highest wet point is the source. Our 62TE fluid leak guide walks through the usual suspects, including the overfill and vent-tube cases that look like a leak but are not. Then set the level properly: the 62TE has no factory dipstick, and the check is done hot with a service dipstick read against fluid temperature, as our 62TE fluid type and capacity guide explains. If you do not have one, the 62TE-compatible service dipstick makes the check a driveway job.

Fitment

The listing covers the Chrysler and Dodge 62TE six-speed behind the 3.6L V6, including the Ram ProMaster, and it replaces OE 04753192AA. It does not give a year range, so match it to the part on your vehicle: compare the outline, the bolt pattern and the bearing bore with your old cover, and check for the 04753192AA number before you order. The 62TE also has a separate transfer gear cover on the end of the case, which is a different part. If you are not certain you have a 62TE at all, the bar code label and DG2 sales code are covered in our 62TE identification guide. Send us your year and VIN if you want us to check, or see everything we stock for this unit in the 62TE parts collection.

Install notes

• Drain the fluid first. On the vehicle, the axle on that side may need to come out for clearance.
• Do not pry on the sealing flange. Break the sealant loose carefully, then scrape both faces to clean bare aluminum and wipe them dry with solvent.
• Check the bearing and the case-side threads while it is open. Repair any pulled threads before the new cover goes on.
• Use the sealant the service manual calls for, run the bolts in by hand, then tighten them in a cross pattern to the factory torque.
• Refill with ATF+4 only, then check the level hot with the engine running. If the axle came out, a new axle seal is cheap insurance.

If the case is already open for a bigger repair, the 62TE overhaul gasket and seal kit covers the other seals in one order, and the 62TE service kit with 6 qt of ATF and a filter handles the refill.

Does this cover fit my 62TE?

It is listed for the Chrysler and Dodge 62TE behind the 3.6L, including the Ram ProMaster, and replaces OE 04753192AA. No year range is listed, so compare the shape, bolt pattern and bearing bore with your old cover, or send us your year and VIN.

What comes in the box?

One machined aluminum case cover and two mounting bolts. Sealant, fluid and any axle seal are not included.

Can I just reseal my old cover instead?

If the flange is flat and clean and the threads are good, yes. Replace the cover when the sealing face is pitted or gouged, an ear is cracked, or bolt holes are stripped, because sealant will not hold on a damaged surface.

What fluid goes back in?

ATF+4 only. ATRA lists a 5.5 quart service fill for the 62TE; set the final level hot with a service dipstick read against fluid temperature.

Is this the same as the transfer gear cover?

No. The transfer gear cover is a separate cover on the end of the 62TE case. This one closes off the differential side of the case.
