62TE automatic transmission used in the 2016 RAM ProMaster 1500 (3.6L Pentastar V6)

62TE Transmission for Sale. Low Mileage ProMaster Automatic Transmission Replacement.

The 62TE transmission is a 6-speed front-wheel drive automatic that Chrysler used across a range of minivan and commercial van platforms. If you own a 2016 Ram ProMaster 1500 or a similar Chrysler FCA platform vehicle and your transmission has developed a shift issue, internal failure, or mechanical problem that makes replacement more practical than repair, a clean low mileage ProMaster 62TE automatic transmission from a verified donor vehicle is the direct path back to factory spec. At McClain Auto Part, we have been sourcing and selling used transmissions out of Cleveland, Ohio since 2009. The Dodge 62TE transmission is one of the more specialized front-wheel drive units we carry.

Commercial van and minivan owners come to us for a few reasons. Some deal with a hard shift, delayed engagement, or complete transmission failure on a high mileage work vehicle. Others are rebuilding a ProMaster or Caravan that has good body and engine condition but a worn or failed transmission. Fleet operators frequently find that a verified low mileage replacement is faster and more cost-effective than a rebuild when a vehicle needs to get back into service quickly.

Whatever the situation, the goal is the same. A tested, documented 3.6 Pentastar 62TE transmission that installs correctly and shifts the way the vehicle is supposed to.

The 62TE Transmission Platform

The 62TE is a 6-speed automatic built around Chrysler’s 62TE architecture, which is an evolution of the earlier 41TE and 62TE family of front-wheel drive transaxles. It handles both gear selection and final drive in a single transaxle housing, which is standard for front-wheel drive platforms. The 3.6 Pentastar 62TE transmission pairing is one of the most common configurations in the ProMaster and Caravan lineup. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 and the 62TE were factory-matched across multiple model years, making it a well-documented combination with a known service history in the used market.

How the 62TE Differs From Earlier Chrysler Automatics

Chrysler used several generations of front-wheel drive automatics before the 62TE. The older 41TE was a 4-speed unit used across minivan platforms for many years. The 62TE added two additional forward gears, revised shift logic, and updated electronic controls. As a result, the 62TE delivers better fuel economy and smoother shifts under light load compared to the older 4-speed platform. For ProMaster and Caravan owners replacing a failed unit, the 62TE is the correct replacement. An older 41TE is not a direct substitute.

Common Failure Points to Know

The 62TE has a few documented wear items that matter when sourcing a used unit. The valve body and solenoid pack are the most common source of shift quality complaints on higher mileage examples. Torque converter shudder at highway speeds is also a known issue on units with neglected fluid service intervals. For this reason, we inspect the valve body, solenoid condition, and torque converter on every unit before it ships. You receive that documentation before the order is finalized.

Technical Specifications

Specs vary slightly by model year and application. Call us with your VIN before ordering to confirm the correct variant for your vehicle.

What Is Included

Included components vary by unit. Here is what a typical used 62TE transmission package from McClain includes.

Standard With Most Units

• Complete 62TE transaxle assembly
• Torque converter
• Transmission pan
• Solenoid pack, condition documented
• Shift linkage, condition noted

Available on Select Units or by Request

• Transmission wiring harness
• TCM, transmission control module
• Axle shafts, confirm availability at time of order

A Note on TCM and Wiring

The 62TE is a fully electronic transmission. The TCM controls shift timing, solenoid activation, and torque converter lockup. In most direct factory replacement applications, your original TCM and wiring harness are reused with the replacement transmission. If you need a TCM with the unit, tell us when you call and we confirm what is available in current inventory.

Condition and Inspection

Every Dodge 62TE transmission replacement unit that ships from our Cleveland warehouse goes through a hands-on inspection. The valve body and solenoid pack on the 62TE require specific attention during inspection that simpler hydraulic transmissions do not.

What We Check Before Every Unit Ships

• Full visual inspection of transaxle case for cracks, leaks, and external damage
• Transmission pan removed and inspected for metal debris or clutch material contamination
• Fluid condition checked for contamination, burning, or signs of overheating
• Solenoid pack inspected for condition and connector integrity
• Valve body inspected for external damage and solenoid bore condition
• Torque converter inspected for external damage and shaft condition
• Mileage verified against donor vehicle documentation
• Shift linkage and external components checked for wear or damage
• No unusual noise or mechanical concerns noted before packaging

Valve body and solenoid condition are documented on every unit before it ships. You know what you are getting before the order is processed.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 62TE automatic transmission was factory-fitted in the following vehicles:

• Ram ProMaster 1500, 2500, 3500, 2014 to present
• Chrysler Town and Country, 2008 to 2016
• Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008 to 2020
• Dodge Journey V6, 2009 to 2020
• Chrysler 200 V6, 2015 to 2017
• Volkswagen Routan, 2009 to 2012

Before ordering, confirm your VIN and build date. The 62TE went through calibration and solenoid updates across model years. Fitment depends on your specific vehicle configuration, not the year and model alone. Call us with your VIN and we confirm the right unit for your application.

A Note on ProMaster Compatibility

The 2016 Ram ProMaster 1500 transmission application is one of the most common requests we fill for the 62TE. The ProMaster uses a front-wheel drive layout with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and the 62TE transaxle as standard equipment across the lineup. Confirm your specific ProMaster build and VIN before ordering to make sure the unit matches your application.

Replacement Notes

For a direct factory replacement in a 2016 Ram ProMaster 1500 or similar Chrysler FCA platform, a matching 62TE from the same application family is the correct approach. The TCM calibration and shift logic are specific to the vehicle platform and model year. A unit from a significantly different application may require TCM reprogramming.

Fluid Service on Installation

The 62TE requires ATF+4 fluid, Chrysler specification. Do not substitute a generic automatic transmission fluid. Using the wrong fluid affects shift quality and solenoid function. Fill to the correct level, confirm no leaks at the cooler lines and pan gasket, and verify shift quality through all six gears before returning the vehicle to service.

Torque Converter

The torque converter ships with the unit. Install the replacement torque converter rather than reusing the original. Reusing a worn or contaminated torque converter on a fresh transmission introduces debris into the new unit and risks repeat failure. This is a step that matters.

Break-In and Relearn

After installation, the TCM performs a shift adaptation relearn over the first several hundred miles. Shift quality may feel slightly firm or inconsistent during the initial break-in period. This is normal. Most TCM systems relearn shift points within 200 to 500 miles of normal driving.
