- This 2014 Dodge Pro-master transmission has 500,000 miles om it, and the problem was really just the converter. I open and teardown the unit. The vehicle was brought to me from upstate NY. All went well with the rebuild

You are simply amazing. I am blown away about how easy you make it look working on these incredibly complex and intricate transmissions.
Thank you Dan
@@GaryFerrarodo you have a video how you work on the valve body please?
@@yolvimazariegos2820 I have a 4 part series on rebuilding the 62TE, I overhaul the valvebody in the series
Gary your a National Treasure dude! You definitely know your stuff
Screw that mess, that is a lot of stuff. What a master! Hats off to you sir

A 500,000 mile transmission....Wow😯, The parts in that trans look pretty good and the fluid is still cherry red....Another great job Gary 😊
This guy really stayed on top of his vehicle
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it! I had the same thing happened to mine with 117,000 but I kept driving it until the filter clogged and it stopped. I towed it home and changed the filter and kept driving it until I could somebody to just change the torque converter. It seem to fix it. Strangely enough through the whole thing it never threw a code LOL
Thank you, Gary, for your sharing your time and knowledge.
Thanks for watching
Great to see you uploaded a video .Thanks for sharing Garry . New York 12 hour shift keeps you looking young.
Thanks juan LOL
Goes to show you that regular oil changes work wonders.
It's the age old adage. But you still have naysayers who refuse to accept it. 🤷♂️
I didn't realize Chrysler transmissions have come so far I got an avenger with this transmission and the 3.6 and it's got a quarter of a million miles on it and still runs pretty f****** good
Avenger never got a pentastar nor a 62te.

@@davidsias5351 sorry, i forgot there was a “modern” avenger based on the 200. I thought you were talking about the old avenger that was mitsu based
@@goclunker oh yeah the 90s model yeah that was a piece of shit
My sister's man has one with 300k, never serviced other than motor oil, not even a wash. Some last 50k others half a mil, crazy
Thanks for sharing. Very impressive 500,000 mile transmission for sure! The owner is a good driver, plus highway driving is much easier on vehicles than city type of driving.
Thanks again and

Thanks for watching , as always nice to hear from you
Love it. thank you so much. I am thoroughly amazed at your knowledge and skill.
Very great to see what these vans can do. Definitely makes it easier for me to sleep at night.
sounds like mostly highway miles.. also wonder if the promaster van uses an external oil cooler.
I wish my wife's grand caravan van will last that long. Great work Gary.
Thanks for watching
I HAVE 2 OF THEM 1 HAS 245000 MILES STILL GOING BUT I'M BUILDING 1 FOR IT THE OTHER 1 MADE IT TO ONLY 190000 MILES
what is the best interval for fluid filter change on the 62 te?
@@budsodalsky. 50,000 miles with a Mopar filter and only use ATF+4. Other fluid with “magic” additives that make them “the same”, are not. 300k miles on my Gr Caravan, engine and Transmission are original
I’m actually doing one of these next weekend.. thank you!!!
Thanks for the video, very detailed and helpful. Keep up the great job and thanks once again.
Thanks for watching
I'm impressed. I never thought the 62TE would be good, because of how many 41TE and 42TE transmissions I had to swap out. I have been out of the auto repair business for a while because of chronic illness flare ups.
Skyline Fever I am very impressed as well never seen one go 500,000 miles If the converter had not failed he would still be going.
@@GaryFerraro Usually, in a conventional automatic transmission, what gets worn out first, the torque converter clutch lining or the stator bushings?
I use 42rle clutches and some internals on my 41te and a 62te low reverse piston
Hi Gary!
Finally i was able to go and change the parts on my transmission!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Dodge dealer want to change my transmitttion for $4250
The parts cost me $27 and we changed the oils and filters.
Car is running like new!
Thank you Gary! You saved me a bunch of money!
What was the problem? Great job on fixing it yourself.
@@GaryFerraro it was a VLS Trans Variable Force Solenoid.
What you told me to change!
I changed the oil, filter and that solenoid.
Thanks again! You saved me a bunch of money and time!
@@lazarjanos Thanks for the update
This is a awesome video. Really enjoyed it.
Nice job Gary ,I tear them down the same way, We do see Problem with the compounder assembly and the front pump bushing wear out as well.

When did you leave the business?
how do u get thew stator shaft screws out of a 4l60e trans, do u have to use heat.. ive twisted 3 torx head bits to no avail.. the last one I did, I had to weld nuts to the top of the screws to get them out, but it ruins the screw heads. im thinking they have locktite on the threads?
@@randy1izationjust use a proper hardened impact rated bit with an impact gun. You are far more likely to strip out screws and bits doing it by hand with a ratchet. Also make sure to keep the bit aligned perfectly straight while doing it and apply some downwards pressure. Obviously if not use an impact for taking them out use a torque wrench to put them back in to proper spec.
@@randy1izationdo you have high quality bits, like Snapon, or is it Harbor Freight quality?
Ever great job. another 500 coming up. Thanks
Thank you
this dude know exactly what he's doing
Thank you
You are a very talented human being.
Thank you
Its a Ram Pro-master. Good job on the rebuild!!
Yes, Thanks for watching
And some say don't change the oil well i'm glad I change mine every. 30;000 on my 2007 2.8 crd Grand Voyager thanks for a good video.Jeff in uk
I would change the oil, 30K is good when to do it
Justo lo que necesitaba , gracias , thank you
Gary, I'm amazed how beefy the diff is in these 62TE's. Frictions looked really good, some bushing wear but honestly really looking good. Could have probably gotten away with just a new converter. But when your vehicle is your income it makes sense to do it all, including geartrain. Great video.
The amount of driving he does, everything is new
@@GaryFerraro I totally get it for all the driving he does, was really neat to see, thanks for sharing!
@@lukestrasser Thanks Luke
It's funny because I had the same issue with only 117,000 miles and nobody would change just the converter. I finally found a home mechanic that agreed to do it with absolutely no guarantees that it would work. Almost a year later and it's still working.
excelente video muy buena explicación.. muchas gracias por compartir...saludos desde México...
Your a brilliant man!
Moms 2012 caravan had the original 62te with 209,000 miles. Engine is original to. Used to be a enterprise rental.
the 62TE and 3.6 is a bulletproof combo
Lots of problems with converters
So a good way to buy a Caravan (or other vehicles using the 62te) is after one good rebuilt or warranty thingy....thats cool to see, thanks👍👍
first trans I've seen to go that long, and the trans was still good, converter went out
@@GaryFerraro Nice, yeah just watched it full lenght👍
I know about the bearing / drumm issue....but Chrysler's fix seems to work👍
And the frictions looked still good too, nice.
Hey Gary,
I watched your video on the 62TE rebuild. My 2009 Town and Country was driving down the road cruising. When the engine rpm’s started to climb to near red line. No noise came from the transmission. It has park and neutral and no codes. I’m thinking maybe the splines in the torque converter may have stripped out. Do you think I’m on the right idea with the torque converter? And do you think I should do a rebuild right away? Or do you have any other ideas of what it could be? The vehicle has 220k miles and has a MOPAR rebuilt transmission installed in 2016. There is at least 60k miles that I put on this vehicle.
you are looking at a master at work
594k id call that 600k
I have seen several Chrysler vehicles with mileage in this range...
Ive watched about 250,000 vehicles sell at auction and these were some anomalies I noticed, all Chrysler's too... 😉
08 Caravan 62te btw - 290k ran fine
94 ram with 5.2 - 519k ran great
01 Durango 4.7 - 478k ran great
07 Ram 3500 6.7 - 680k ran great
Seen others, 300k mile Yotas and 400k mile chevy 6.0s, but the Chrysler's are supposed to be garbage lol...
This guy really took care of this truck, he needs for his business
Hi Gary
I have a 2014 dodge caravan and i was getting of the highway and at the first stop the car was shaking a little then stalled. I put it in neutral start the car and with high rpm i put it in gear and i was able to roll the car, after that the car shift fine and i was able to drive home 200plus miles. But soon as i have to stop at trafic lights doing the same ting, feels like the cluch wont disengage. No fault code at all. Is it a torque converter or solenoid? Please help, i would like to order the right parts! Thank you for your time!
Hi Gary thank you for taking the time to do these videos. They are so helpful. You're an awesome teacher 👍. I watched a few of your videos to have info on my problem. I have a 2011 dodge caravan and since a few weeks. It can't reverse. If I'm on a slope, it's ok, but flat, it's winding. I have 188 000 km and never changed the transmission oil. No error codes. Can it be just some debris that is clogging the filter or is it a more severe situation. Thanks Hugo from Québec, 🇨🇦
I'd love to see the rest of the van. Is the Pentastar 3.6 all original?
most likely
That’s pretty incredible at 500k!! Especially when I keep reading the PM transmissions failing at 60k on the regular.
This was actually the converter that failed, trans was still in good shape. Converters are a big problem on this trans
Is there an upgraded converter for this transmission?
Mine made it to 120k
Will we see the rebuild? Look neat for that kind of mileage, nice job
Rebuild is finished, he has a delivery business so i had to get it done
Hello, do you know the maintenance schedule on this particular transmission by this owner?
Very typical Chrysler transaxle, they are a contraption. The 62TE looks a bit heavier than the Caravan 4 speed units I've pulled. Like seeing that aftermarket drain plug on the pan.
correct, some parts are the same
Very detail and nice video !
I have a question for you . Is the compounder removable while the transmission still on the car? I have a 2015 promaster with no reverse , forward driving no problem . With code p0736. I’m thinking to replace the compounder myself .
You can but valvebody has to come out as well, there are 3 tubes that go to the compounder assembly
I replaced the transmission pump on my 62te. Pump noise is gone now and car drives but:
1. Code P0731 pops up with incorrect 1st gear ratio.
2. Shift into drive is fierce
3. Oil level is adjusted perfectly.
4. It appears to max out in 3rd or 4th gear.
Is this a solenoid problem and could this be fixed by cleaning the solenoids?
Also as I have rebuilt transmissions in the past (never a 62te) I will be rebuilding this one. I have been told there are updated parts I can use to make it stronger, could you recommend the best upgrade parts for my transmission please. Thank you.
mopar updated the lower clutch drum a few years ago. I'm pretty sure mine blew out at 167k-- lost reverse and 1,3,5th gears slip. new factory rebuild kit should fix it.
Hi Gary great vids! i made the mistake and didnt bring my 2016 PM into a local Indy shop and brought it to Dealer for a trans replacement. The factory replacement has been a nightmare. within the first 500 miles I needed a new Trans cooler, and After about 2000 miles it started to have a problem were it shifts from 1st into 2nd very hard, and then gets suck in 2nd gear and will not upshift. Sometime pulling over and turning van on and off seems to reset things but recently on a pretty hot day this technique didnt work. I got it towed back to dealer and 2 hours later i started it up and it shifted and drove normally around the block. I left it with dealer. They claim its possibly valve body? does this seem right to you? thanks Travis
possible, i would like to know what codes are present but yes could be valvebody
Can you tell me what my voltage is supposed to be on the input and output sensors ? I'm only getting 3.5 volts and I believe its producing a code PO734. Already changed both sensors and solenoid pack, Thanks Gary
The sensors are 2 wire sensors that generates an AC signal by the rotating component inside the transmission
Great video. I always, if I remember that is, break the low clutch housing t25’s loose while it’s still in the case. Way easier
Yes, it is T25. I normally do, think i was just pressed for time and wanted to get it apart
such a complex machine 😮
Hey I have a promaster and my reverse went out how hard is that to fix?
What kind of fluid did you use after re-build ??? Very good tear down . Thanks
i use synthetic fluid
My mechanic kept mentioning a pump failure. Where is the pump in this breakdown?
Dear Gary , great videos - Please keep sharing your knowledge. I traded in my 89,000 mi 2500 Promaster just after the Dealer rebuilt existing transmission. I tend to carry a lot of weight , all the time, but I creep up to 65 -70 mph and drive highway all day long. Is this transmission strong enough to purchase another promaster? This video gives me hope.
Well, his first trans went at 90K, last one 500K, This guy stays on top of maintenance he drives all over the U.S, again first trans I've seen with 500K on it
The 62te is junk, 100k mi transmission
@@redneck4528how is it junk?
Hi I really like your video anyway you could show me which solenoid is solenoid d for a 2012 Chrysler Town and country 62 t e
I have a 62te in my caravan it starts shuttering in low rpm's accelerating in 4th and 5th gear. If I use the tiptronic transmission and keep it high rpms basically shift it for max power and keep it juiced with gas it doesn't have that issue. Also will shutter when slowing down in those lower rpms as well happens mostly between 25 mph and 40 mph. Any ideas? I think I need a rebuild but maybe there is a simple fix? Wishful thinking probably but any help will be good!
Sounds like a Torque converter chatter. Does it feel like going over rough road or maybe train tracks?
Thanks for this infos. may you suggest please: have a 62TE from grand caravan 2013 with 180K miles. its running fine in first 10-20 miles mostly but suddenly jerking and stocked in 1th gear till i stoop, turn off, turn on then again is good for some miles. i swapped the valve body and solenoid pack but still is same. added some high viscosity oil, got better but still need help. i changed all the 3-speed sensors too, nothing diffenert.
Thanks
I believe what your saying is when the car gets hot it stops moving, you shut it off for a few minutes and restart you can move til it happens again. If this is the case your filter is clogging up probably because something is coming apart which may be the torque converter
Hi Gary I have the 62TE transmission in my town and country 2008 I put it on reverse and works fine I put it on drive and dies I thought by replacing the torque converter will help but still the same problem? any idea? What can be thanks a lot very interesting video
very possible the TCC solenoid is mechanically clogged, have to pull the side cover off where the valvebody is and it's the single solenoid on top of the valvebody
I observed a clutch drum parts coming out during gear oil replacement of Dodge Journey 2.7 L V6 62TE, how serious is this? how long can i run with this issue usually?
If it was aluminum pieces, could be low clutch drum, if that drum is bad you will loose reverse. Is It aluminum pieces?
This makes me feel right about my decision to change trans oil on my 2019 Caravan at 40K instead of OEM published 60K interval (powertrain warranty also expires at 60K ;) I bought a used rental, and reverse slips a little uphill, and gear 2 or 3 occasionally upshifts hard......it's still under warranty, but I'm scared to let a dealer touch it unless it's un-questionably broken. On a clutch application chart, I'm suspicious of trouble in the L/R clutch....what does L/R mean? Supplemental trans oil coolers yay or nay? any suggestions?
I changed mine (2015 caravan) at 117k and wish I had done it twice before then. No issue whatsoever but still...
Good call on that
your right abt that, I would do it every 30,000 after I saw what mine looked like at 63,000. I think the more they wear, the faster they wear...
just serviced my 2017 dodge grand caravan, with 65,000 miles... there was normal clutch debris on the magnet in the pan, no driveability issues with the vehicle, but in the pan, on the magnet I found 2 pieces of hard metal. not very big pieces abt 3 mm x 3 mm... kind of shiny. wondering where these may have came from, ive heard there is sometimes torque convertor failures on the 62te transmissions,, transmission shifts great, no noises,,, also ive read that the 62TE trans tend to start having failures at around 75,000 miles,, is this what you are seeing? I could see them having issues at 75,000 IF the filter and fluid isnt changed at 60,.000 miles, because the magnet is full and cant hold anymore clutch material, and then then filter would get clogged and starve the pump. if I knew what I know now as far as clutch material on the magnet, I would have serviced my trans at 30,000 miles instead of the chrysler recommended 60,000 miles. I replaced filter with a PROGAURD filter and Mopar type 4 fluid.
If you can, send pictures to me

Hello Gary, I have a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country with 100k miles. It recently broke down and would drive for a little bit when in drive and then rmps go up and it will not move. I have a hard fault P0470 Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit and I can audibly hear a noise coming from the bell housing. The fluid level was good so I pulled the pan, there was no metal in the pan. Could the solenoid cause it to do that or do you think the torque converter needs to be replaced. Any advise would be appreciated.
What it sounds like to me is the main filter is clogging up, probably because the converter clutch had come apart. If the solenoid was bad, then the car would stall on engagement or shutter and stall when coming to a stop
@@GaryFerraro Thank s for the reply Gary. That makes sense, so I will pull the transmission and replace the converter along with flushing the old fluid and replace the filter.
Limit 62TE to 4 when in town traffic, good or bad idea ?
intuitively I assume that the gearbox wears out with every gear change.
is the converter less used if I choose that ?
Manufacturers prefer a computer model where the car shifts 200 times and consumes one thimble less on a test run to show good results on paper.
Not me. I prefer a simple gearbox that holds 250 miles.
is doing 4-> 1 at each stop less violent for the gear box than doing 5-> 1? is there any way to find out which gear is engaged ?
Thank's Gary for sharing your knwoledge :-) !
you may be using a little more gas and generating a little more heat, lock-up comes in after 4th i believe. In 4th gear the overdrive clutch is applied and it stays on for 5th and 6th gear
@@GaryFerraro thank's for your answer. to be sure to good understand :
- limiting to 4 permit to avoid using the lock up.
- limiting to 3 (under 30mp/h) permit to avoid using the lock up and the overdrive.
Is that saving a weak parts ?
other question : what is the optimal temp for the 62TE ?
You the MAN ! Really appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share it. Bless you. Question; I recently got a 2011 Caravan with 335K miles - amazing condition. TCC solenoid was bad, replaced it with filter and fluid. Old fluid look very good and magnet had a light coat of fuzz (looked good). It seemed to me that the pan seals were factory (never serviced?) After solenoid replacement, the TC chatters on engagement. I added friction mods with limited improvement. In the last 2k-3k mile the chatter has increased and now I detect slip w/ chatter at high load in 5 and 6th. I suspect TC clutch. I'm satisfied with not changing the trans but plan on a TC replace. The question is should I change the pump? I hear a light whine even with the new filter in neutral and light rev - sometime I'm not sure I can hear it. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
Certainly sounds like TC is chattering , common problem. What filter did you use, i only go OE on these transmissions
@@GaryFerraro Thanks for the reply Gary. I used an ATP ( www.amazon.com/ATP-B-350-Automatic-Transmission-Filter/dp/B004QBZR34) . It fit fine, but yea, maybe an OEM would be best. I wouldn't think notable restriction would be an issue though Do you think I should be thinking OEM filter rather that suspecting the pump? Is a little whine Ok if it seems to be working well? My wife doesn't notice it and while my hearing is poorer than hers mine is "mechanically preceptive." :-) Maybe I should figure pout how to look at the pressures..
@@petersherrouse33 Clicked on the link, it wouldn't take me to the page, how much was the filter?
@@GaryFerraro The link was to Amazon for "ATP B-350 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit " $16.23
@@petersherrouse33 may want to stay away from that, go OE, i get parts at wholesale and i pay about 40 dollars for the filter

Andy Elwood My supplier is Transtar. If you need I could hook you up with my supplier
I would hope my Journey transmission looked this good at 95k miles. Getting ready to change the fluid and filter. I would wonder what Gary would tell me what to watch for looking up from the bottom or what he would do?
Really can't do much, just make sure the pan is clean, go with OE filter, From the factory these come with silicone on the pan and no gasket
Is it ok to use a wix filter that Is what I bought bacuse it comes with the gasket.
Its like peanuts for you Sir!!!
Do you have a Video showing how to put a 62TE back together i bought a town and country like 2 years ago had it 3 months trans went sat for almost a year i had them fix it cost me 2400 to replace the solenoid pack etc not even a few months later the trans went a gain my girl was driving and it just went out took it back to the dealer there saying its the trans pump wants 6400 for new trans watching your videos im just going to attempt it my self trans pump right behind the torque converter so i dont know why there telling me 6400 unless there more wrong with it so i think ill just spend the money to buy the parts and learn to rebuild it my self but your videos are amazing you make it look way to easy when i know its very hard also what do u recommend for parts cleaning.
I have a 62TE rebuild videos, it's like a 4 part series, that may help
Look at this guy tear that 62 apart..I'm lost
P0740 replaced the solenoid guessing. Made no difference.
Whether code is reset or not has been working perfectly for 30,000 miles one year and 3 months.
Noticed leaking lines. From TH-cam used oil dipstick and showed fluid at bottom of safe zone. Just replace lines and filled to top of safe zone on oil dipstick. Was only slightly leaking on driveway. Expect code to return.
P0740 calling around pretty much everybody went straight to average $4,000 rebuilt. Still maintaining 20 miles per gallon average that it always has got. Any input?
Lines leaking is very common, i stock them because it's so common, If it was low on fluid that can make P0740 code show up, if it's full and code comes back usually converter problem
Gary, where are you located? I am 20 minutes from Saratoga and my wife has a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country that has lost reverse. Assuming it is the low drum seals that spin and are now worn out. I was watching your tear down video thinking I could do it but there is no way, just too involved. How much would you charge to do the low drum seals?
Had someone from your area drive here, more updates need to be done but as i said i get about 3500, to do these, i have always said for people that travel to come here i would give them a good deal, so it would be a few hundred less than what i normally get
What are those 6 round white 1” do?
I have a 2014 as well. How important is it to get the software updates for these. Is it shift quality , or longevity as well. I know Chrysler has newer updates for this tranny.
I never had to do that but after overhaul a "quick learn" must be done with a scan tool
tell me when. The gearbox only goes in first gear and a little in reverse (slips) I decided to change the oil. I unscrewed the pan and drained the oil and discovered that there were pieces of metal in the filter (like small teeth. Without removing the transport one, can I replace it with new ones (I think these are friction discs)?
What year is this?, was it aluminum pieces
Ooooh thankk youuu!!
Thanks for watching
I have the same transmission in my o9 journey sxt. The fill tube rusted and fluid leaked out. Quit driving g immediately. Finally got it fixed and now when I first start the car and drive around the block, it shifts perfectly but after one block it will not shift. Any suggestions?

You said it has 594,000 miles. So it is much closer to 600,000 than to 500,000 miles. Incredible ! !

Hello! i have the same transmission on my 2013 dodge avenger sxt 2.4l 6 speed i have a problem with it while driving when i drive 30 miles and start braking and the transmission shifts shifts from 3rd gear to 2nd gear and at this point when it shifts at 20 miles i hear a thump Even when the car is standing still and running, I try to switch gears from P-R-D, I hear kicking, and when I checked like this, the engine moves as if all the supports are broken, although the supports are in normal condition
Possible high line pressure, have it scanned for codes
I had the dreaded whining noise at 90,000 miles. Changed the fluid and filter. Was good for another 10,000 and than it failed.

Now what lol?
Hello! I drive a 2014 Ram Promaster 3.6 gas. I have 567,201 on the original transmission. Everything was fine until my engine had a misfire on cylinder 4. I had to switch my shifter into manual mode so I could keep the gear I needed to go up hills because my engine had loss of power. I put approximately a 100 miles on it with me manually shifting when needed. I had another engine Installed. Now my transmission doesn't shift into 6th gear. It shifts pretty good up to 5th, but then just stays there. It's a 62TE transmission. It didn't shift at all at first but the found a wire not clipped in for the turbine speed. I took off and it was shifting, but stops at 5th gear. It also shutters when I let off the gas in 5th gear. If I let off easy it doesn't. My mechanic did the relearn several times and it didn't do anything. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?? Also, are all 64TE transmissions the same? They want double or triple for a Promaster 64TE. I can get a low mileage 64TE for around $800. We are worried that maybe the gear ratios might be different and maybe the CV axles won't fit in. I do know one thing. I know a guy on our Promaster forum that put a 3.6 Pentastar engine out of a different vehicle in his Promaster and it works just fine. And we were told that it won't work. But it does. Thank you for any information. I have subscribed! Randy.
I forgot to mention that when I let off the gas in 5th gear, it shutters pretty bad. I have to let off really easy and it won't shutter. Thanks again!

So I have a 2017 1500 promaster has 220k I did a transmission oil change on it and now my transmission 1st it happened on freeway at 60 it jumped out of gear and ramped up for a Second then jumped back in gear and it's doing same thing more often and last time it stated doing it at stop light I was In drive and didn't move then jump in gear. What could be the case?
Do you have the tool to measure the fluid level?
500,000?? I got 112k out of my 13 T&C. When I bought it, it had 102k. Gives me the opinion these are typical Chrysler junk. Maybe not?
What maintenance schedule was followed, fluid & filter changes @ what miles?
I had my transmission replaced with a remanufactured 62 te on a 2012 caravan 3.6. The line blew off and all fluid came out then it stopped. He replaced the lines then said was good. Now warranty is up but lines are leaking and since he did it ive been asking but basically ignoring me. I got new lines and clips going to replace this weekend but have a question. When going slow in traffic it feels like a manual. Like someone kinda slightly shifting wrong ( clutch to fast or slow )
why would it feel like its a manual taking off?
There are o-rings in the fittings, if the o-rings are bad the lines will still leak. After the fluid was filled back up, trans may need to be quick learned with a scan tool
@@GaryFerraro yea I had a Chrysler buddy to the transmission re learn. I'll be replacing the fittings this weekend, I test fitted the fittings on the new lines I have here and they click in and seem to seal tight with the o ring inside. Maybe tomorrow I can post a video on my TH-cam of how loose my trans lines are before and after kinda thing.
If the torque converter didn't go out do you think that would lasted another 100000
Yes, that trans was in great shape
hello nice video. I have a question, what could be the reason of over night stand t.convertor oil leak (i think thats my problem) of my 62te journey. First start in morning need to wait 10 seconds for my convertor to fill. otherwise drive or reverse does not move my car. (my transmission and converter has refurbished)
Sounds like it’s draining back overnite could be an issue with the pump such as a worn bushing
thank you for quick reply. Wish you all the best.
Hello Gary. Is it possible to change the parking pawl on this 62TE without full disassembling? Can't find this part on your video. Thanks.
It's inside the case, i never tried that before but to access it, you would have to pull the linkage out to get the internal mode switch out of the way and drop the pan and filter. What is this doing? I would actually have to look at a case to see what's involved
Gary Ferraro promaster van rolls on park
@@chokadilas Did you disconnect the linkage cable at the trans to see if it holds in park? does the car move?
Gary Ferraro right. That’s what we did firstly, we disconnect the linkage cable and put in to park manually. Still rolls. Any recommendations?
@@chokadilas The car drives and up shifts ok? axles are ok
Hello is there a way you can be reach for questions about 62te
Mr . Ferraro a quick learn is necessary after a full rebuild for this transmission ?
yes, i do that after every rebuild
A lot of people have replaced the Transmission Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid in the transmission and the rumble strip feeling went away. My 2014 dodge grand caravan does that when coming to a stop. No Check engine light.
you have that shudder feeling? usually thats a converter problem,
@@GaryFerraro I only feel it when coming to a stop. Feels like I’m riding over a rough road.
@@RickySlatton I would start with the solenoid
Great great video do you rebuild this type of transmission for customer?
yes, i do a lot of these units
Does dodge promaster 3500 2018 3,6L has the same transmission as a 2018 dodge grand caravan 3,6L ? Do you know. Are they internally completely the same?
There are differences in the Final drive, tooth counts are not the same, but everything else should be, same overhaul kit
@@GaryFerraro Thank you for respond
What gears exactly are involved in the final drive? If you don’t mind explaining. and location?
what is fluid change recommendation on a trasmissin
I believe Dodge says the fluid will last for 100k.
But I'm doing mine now and it has 80k whitch I think is a stretch
Im expediter as well I had to buy 2014 promaster because Mercedes sprinter diesel blue tec almost pushed me in to bankruptcy with all emission related repairs. After all engine sized on hwy with no warnings no oil losses no over heating just smoothly sized up on hwy . Any way my 2014 pm got aprox 200k on it lost torque converter lock up and p740 code just showed up otherwise oil very clean no shifting issues all smooth ..just not locking up ..any good advice ....did check oil level is all normal .I was Honda tech while ago so maintenance is not issues or repairs.thx
That code is usually the converter itself, the clutch inside the converter is probably coming apart
@@GaryFerraro I expected it..I greatly appreciate your time and quick response....I'm thinking about replacing solenoid pack as well but I'm positive it's all well with it..as it fells all normal . Gary Thank you very much keep it safe out there.
@@srhondapro38 Welcome, solenoid pack is a little tricky to do. If you drop the trans for the converter, drop the pan and change fluid and filter as well
@@GaryFerraro I will take your advice... I will drop it then all replaced as u mentioned. I can't afford another failure after merceds as I'm still paying of sprinter, awful situation.. Tons work on mercedes I preformed, manifold s black death prevention number of engine leaks all updated and then best fluids. I'm picky as ex honda tech dpf nox u name its done all ...back to my saviour promaster . Currently fluid has about 40k and still red..level I did adjust little bit. I use all top notch fluids so all should be internally healthy clutches seals and my driving is technically perfect.... Lol.. I know when will shift befor computer does it.. Lol.... Actually I don't like some of shift points and lock up's... Kinda like it now with out lock up... Mpg is still good but I'm Easy on it. THX again
What was the premium synthetic oil you used?
I purchase it in 5 gallon buckets, it's made by Sunoco
How come my te62 failed at 90,000?
good afternoon sir.
i'm getting code P0750 LR Solenoid Circuit, i'm wondering if it's the Solenoid pack, i'm also not getting any transmission temp on the scan tool When trying to do a quick learn with scan tool it goes into limp mode. Any help would be appreciated.
What year is the car?
@@GaryFerraro 2013 grand caravan. i change the solenoid pack from an old one and it worked. thank you for always helping out. (pins 2/10 )low reverse was ohm at OL. this was the problem and pin 22/23 was ohm at 17+k. Keep up the great work helping us.
