I have a promaster that shut off while driving and i pulled over and shifted to park. I now cant get out of park even at the transmission lever (in rhe engine bay).

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 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.

[@GaryFerraro]

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

[@FixItYerself]

​@@redneck4528how is it junk?

[@emrurl2999]

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)

[@GaryFerraro]

Sounds like it’s draining back overnite could be an issue with the pump such as a worn bushing

[@emrurl2999]

thank you for quick reply. Wish you all the best.

[@janerikborge]

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.

[@GaryFerraro]

I never had to do that but after overhaul a "quick learn" must be done with a scan tool

I can not believe how many parts are in that little transmission

yes, but not bad to work on

Hi, I have a 2013 dodge caravan and whenever I put it in reverse the shifter goes hard and then as soon as it goes in reverse, it gives a hammer stroke sound or bad clicking sound? Please suggest what should I do?

[@GaryFerraro]

so would you say the car has a hard engagement into reverse?

[@ugkhan925]

@@GaryFerraro Most of the time, especially when it's parked for a longer period of time or in the morning. Sometimes it goes smoothly.. Sometimes when it's parked uphill.

Hey I have a promaster and my reverse went out how hard is that to fix?

[@HiloCycles]

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

[@GaryFerraro]

possible, i would like to know what codes are present but yes could be valvebody

[@randytaylor3004]

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.

[@FixItYerself]

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.

[@pierreterracher3911]

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 :-) !

[@GaryFerraro]

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

[@pierreterracher3911]

@@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 ?

[@toly24]

Please help. Hi Gary, i have 2014 ram promaster 1500 3.6 gas 62te transmission, my question is i was driving when suddenly rpms started reving and vehicle not moving like giving gas in neutral. When the vehicle cools for about 45 minutes to 1hr it can drive a little agian until warms up and agian like giving gas in neutral with some noise from transmission not the whole time just comes on and off at any time. Can you help me out what do you think maybe the problem. And forgot to check codes and transmission is off now. Thanks in advance.

[@GaryFerraro]

Problem is your filter is clogging up, something is coming apart to clog the filter. Probably the paper lining on the converter clutch is coming apart. If you change the filter, it will just clog up again in a day or so

[@toly24]

@@GaryFerraro thank you so much for answering, so what would I have to change out? Do you have a part number?

[@GaryFerraro]

@@toly24 well, if that came into my shop would need overhaul. If you don't want to overhaul it, you would have to replace the Converter, filter, fluid and trans cooler at minimum. I dont have part numbers handy but all parts should come from the dealer. I'm just assuming that the converter is bad since it's the most common problem

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?

[@joenic4303]

I changed mine (2015 caravan) at 117k and wish I had done it twice before then. No issue whatsoever but still...

[@GaryFerraro]

Good call on that

[@randy1ization]

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...

Hey Gary I have a 2014 2500 Ram and, for do this what it's the cost approximately?

[@GaryFerraro]

3500 to 4000 for a rebuild. Mounts will be extra, there is one mount that is like 700 if its bad. What is your problem with the trans?

[@Fernicio]

@@GaryFerraro Thank you for your quick response, basically it not making changes after 31 miles I suppose the transmission protects the engine. It has a lot of residues from paste in the fluid. Codes P06DA, P1745, P0132, P1128. Maybe as you mention need to rebuild....

[@GaryFerraro]

The 1745 code will keep it in limp mode, this is a counter that will need to be reset may not clear until reset, need a scan tool for this.(VLP Counter), When you have this code there usually is another trans code present the other codes listed are engine codes, any other codes present@@Fernicio

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.

[@GaryFerraro]

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

[@brianfaulk8078]

@@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.

[@joetrueblood7663]

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

[@GaryFerraro]

The sensors are 2 wire sensors that generates an AC signal by the rotating component inside the transmission

[@KensDIYandHowTo]

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!

[@GaryFerraro]

Sounds like a Torque converter chatter. Does it feel like going over rough road or maybe train tracks?
