Full friction, steel, gasket and seal set for rebuilding the Chrysler 62TE six-speed used in Journey, Avenger, Grand Caravan and ProMaster.
If you are rebuilding a 62TE out of a Grand Caravan, Town and Country, Journey, Avenger, Chrysler 200, ProMaster or VW Routan, this kit puts the full set of soft parts on the bench in one box: clutch frictions, steel plates, gaskets, lip seals, O-rings and sealing rings. It is aimed at the unit that slips, flares or sets gear ratio codes because its clutch packs are worn and its seals no longer hold apply pressure. The kit cross-references to OE kit numbers B077820C, B077880C and W077881C, which makes it easy to match against a rebuilder's catalog or an old invoice.
A 62TE runs seven clutches: five on the main centerline carried over from the 41TE (underdrive, overdrive, reverse, 2/4 and low/reverse) and two in the underdrive compounder (low and direct) that split the transfer drive to create six ratios plus a 4th prime gear. Every one of those clutches is applied by a piston sealed with lip seals or bonded rubber, and fed through scarf-cut sealing rings riding in grooves. When those seals harden or the rings wear, line pressure bleeds off before it reaches the piston, the clutch applies late and slips, and the frictions glaze. This kit replaces both halves of that problem, the friction surfaces and the seals that feed them, so the rebuilt unit applies every clutch at a consistent rate.
Before you commit to a teardown, rule out the faults that mimic worn clutches. A stall or stumble at stops points to the converter clutch staying applied, and shift-feel complaints on many 2011-2013 vehicles were corrected by a TCM flash. Check the fluid level hot, pull the pan and read the scan data. The 62TE common problems guide covers the full checklist, and our Journey 62TE problems guide walks through a typical high-mileage failure.
The listing covers the 62TE across a long run: Chrysler 200 2011-2014, Sebring 2006-2010, Pacifica 2007-2008, Town and Country 2007-2016 and Voyager 2007-2008; Dodge Avenger 2008-2014, Caravan 2007, Grand Caravan 2007-2020 and Journey 2009-2019; Ram C/V 2012-2015, ProMaster 1500/2500/3500 2014-2021 and the 2018 Ram 1500 3.6L; VW Routan 2009-2014. That range includes engine and trim combinations that used the four-speed 40TE or 41TE instead, mainly four-cylinder Sebring, Avenger and Journey and some early minivans, and those units are not covered. Confirm the transmission is a 62TE by its tag or sales code DG2, or send us the year and VIN. Hard parts for every year are on the 62TE collection page.
Soak the frictions in clean ATF+4 for at least 20 minutes before assembly. Inspect every scarf-cut sealing ring groove as you go, with special attention to the compounder low clutch drum, where worn ring lands cause most repeat failures; replace a worn drum with a 62TE clutch drum. Install the underdrive one-way clutch outer race with its ID groove facing down, and check that it turns counterclockwise when assembled. On the front pump, ATRA notes the gears carry assembly dots that must face up. Measure clutch clearances with air during assembly instead of trusting the stack height. This kit does not list a filter, so add a 62TE filter and gasket kit, flush or replace the cooler, refill with ATF+4 only, then clear adaptives and run the quick learn.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, the listing includes the ProMaster 1500, 2500 and 3500 from 2014 to 2021 with the 3.6L and 62TE, along with the 2012-2015 Ram C/V. Confirm your van has the six-speed 62TE rather than a different transmission before ordering.
It cross-references to B077820C, B077880C and W077881C. If your old invoice or rebuilder catalog lists one of those, this kit is the matching soft-parts set.
The listed contents are frictions, steels, gaskets, seals, O-rings and sealing rings. Plan on a separate filter and pan gasket kit for the rebuild.
Only if that vehicle has the 62TE. Several four-cylinder Journey, Avenger and Sebring models used the four-speed 40TE or 41TE. Check the tag on the transmission or send us the VIN.
ATF+4 only, with the level checked hot through the capped fill tube using a service dipstick. Clear the TCM adaptives and perform a quick learn with a scan tool before the road test.
