62TE, No Reverse With Updated Low Drum

[@CubasAutomotive]

Such a small detail, but a huge effect! That's crazy!!

[@mrwhite2628]

Good info. I haven't ran into it yet. But I don't see a lot of 62's. Probably have done every 604 in town over the years. But not many 62's. My most common unit is by far the 6L80's and 90's. Always found it interesting how differing parts of the country see different common failures. That's one reason I like to see videos of what others see and how they address them. Keep up the good work, Gary!

Hello again Gary! Hope things are good in your neck of the woods. Since my last post here. I sure have had a run on these 62's. Bet I've done 20 or more. Still haven't joined the Brotherhood. I'm not a FB user, so that won't happen. I've been using the low drum from WIT. The one with the steel sleeve. Had good luck with until last week. Got one that leaked like crazy. Do you prefer the OEM drum?

[@gregreitan3634]

Nice catch, very observant.

[@x2xtreme360]

Very Interesting. I see a ton of these being the transmission guy at my Chrysler dealer. I actually have a drum in my hand as I type this and I'm inspecting these rings and they look totally fine. This particular compounder assembly had the low clutch completely break apart at the snap ring groove, causing the guts of the drum to spill right out of the drum.

[@GaryFerraro]

yes, i see that all the time. This particular car was a taxi, runs 24 hours a day

[@zach9373]

Another 62TE! All of the ones I rebuild that had failed reverse usually are from the owner backing up their driveway every day for years. The reverse clutch is always toasted.

[@usanewsnow2024]

I rebuilt my 62te with your instruction within last couple of weeks, perfect job with now issues. Just need to get it to dealer for update on PCM for the TCM software that was never performed on this vehicle. Considered a recall to fix gear upshift and downshift timing to better the shift quality.. Thanks Gary! From Selden BTW, Suffolk County! Where can I donate?

Hello Mr. Ferraro I’m writing from Turkey. We have a problem wth 62TE Fiat freemont that - P and N ok no problem -D with brake= there is big noise but you release brake the sound disappear -R with brake = same sound but harder and after a few seconds vehicle stops Have you ever see this problem, what do you think about it? By the way we changed two solenoids and back Group. I’m sorry for my bad English I hope I can describe the problem clearly I hope you see this message soon.

[@GaryFerraro]

Does the car stop moving when hot?

[@lukestrasser]

Gary, good morning! I think your diagnosis, post failure analysis, and helpful tips videos are fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Is the 62TE the most common unit through the door?

[@GaryFerraro]

yes, i try to keep a stock unit but can't

[@irshred]

Need your help. I’m a tech a dealer. I have a 62te that has been overhauled. Have all gears. Front pump whines in drive. 6 gear acts like it has an engine breaking affect then kicks out. Shifts fine 1st thru 5th. Cooler was replaced with overhaul. Line pressure is good in all gears. Tia.

[@mikepittsburg6939]

Thanks for another great video.

[@scottthompson8642]

Can you rectify the valve body or is it better to buy a new valve body in case the gate valve housing is oval? Another great video.

[@oleggolosov2848]

Hi Gary, thank you very much for your videos-they are a huge help for car owners. My Dodge Grand Caravan has the same issue with the lack of reverse gear. Could you please provide an estimate for the cost of such a repair? I understand the cost of the replacement kit, but I would like to know how much the mechanic's services would be to carry out the repair.

Hi Gary. I have a problem with a rebuild of a 62te. When I shift to reverse it goes in drive and in drive it goes in drive. I got the trans open and I can see that the undrdrive plates are burned but it seems to be I got no leak

Thank you for a great video

[@d4rizob]

These feed the direct clutch right? So why does this affect reverse if direct doesn’t come on in reverse? Are any forward gears affected? Thanks

[@johnnychason4472]

gary what causes no forward and weak reverse with noise . trans working perfect then in split second this happens.

[@GaryFerraro]

If it happened suddenly then something broke or stripped inside the trans

I have one the drum was bad replaced it and everything worked and it got stuck in the snow then slammed into reverse all the gears work and forward, but there's no reverse. Check the drum the drum is good. What do you think it would be?

[@GaryFerraro]

The reverse clutch clutch in the input drum assembly may be bad

@@GaryFerraro thank you don’t you need to pull the transmission to get to that?
