TRANSGO Chrysler 62TE SHIFT KIT Valve Body Repair Kit Instruction Manual

TRANSGO Chrysler 62TE SHIFT KIT Valve Body Repair Kit Instruction Manual

Corrects / Prevents / Reduces

TCC Slip/Shudder, Overheating, Drainback,
Delay or No Forward or Reverse, Coasting 6-5 UD Apply Clunk or 4-2 L/R Apply Clunk

If housing is bent or has damaged holes from over tightening of retaining screws. Replace it!]

After every repair: Always clear codes and

reset the VLP Line Pressure Counter which is found under the Special Functions tab.

TCC Control Solenoid often causing “Chugs” or “Kills” engine at stop. Replace it.

Pressure Transducer

If Trans is in Vehicle Skip Step 1

Step 1

Discard OE L/R Housing Gasket. Install new Non Shrinking Gasket under Piston Housing. Gasket works great with all L/R piston housings

Accumulators

Do not make any changes to the Accumulator springs!
Plastic Pistons: Skip Step 1 and re-use the original seals.
(Plastic Pistons get damaged from spring contact. Look inside where springs touch.)

Valve Body Repairs

The repair work on this page will improve the overall stability of the main pressure system to reduce shift complaints as well as correct the malfunctioning Torque Converter Regulator to improve lubrication, cooling and prevent drainback from bore wear. An easy and effective drop-in solution. Saves $$$ and time. We love it! You and your customer will too.

Underdrive Ring

Fits: 62TE/604/606/42RLE (Including VLP models)
Corrects / Prevents / Reduces
Delay or No Forward, Rough Coast Down 4-3,
Limp-in coming to a stop.

Read this first:

Close inspection of Underdrive piston bore will often show wear and a ridge where the piston has rubbed against the seal groove in the input hub. This ridge nibbles the seal and the wear causes a cold leak.
With a worn piston or a cut seal there will be a delay or no forward cold and sometimes limp-in on cold startup into drive until the seal warms and becomes more pliable.
Also, during a long run in 4th the seal relaxes and can fail to re-seal quickly on a 4-3 coast downshift between 28 and 19mph. The computer sees the delayed apply by watching the speed sensors and places trans in limp. A temporary solution is a new piston. A better fix is to install this quality self expanding seal that is pliable enough to seal into worn area and
tough enough that the ridge won’t cut it. Install it with confidence.

PLEASE: Don’t hone, sand, scrape, polish or try to fix the piston in anyway. Leave it as-is. If it’s really bad,
replace it and use the new expander & seal for a long term fix
Note: Seal does not air check very well, but works great in the trans, even with a badly worn piston.

UD-Ring Installation Tough Self-Expanding Seal:

A. Install wire expander into groove.
B. Then install the seal.

Note: Some small engine models can come equipped with only 3 OD clutches & 1 Reverse clutch. This stack-up is not covered here.
Use your specific vehicle data when ordering replacement parts.

Additional Data

The 62TE is a 6 speed transaxle. It has a 7th speed that is only used during kick down, this 7th speed is known as 4th prime. 4th prime provides a more efficient ratio to maximize power & fuel economy.

62TE Clutch Application

Gear| Ratio| UD| OD| REV| 2-4| L-R| LC| DC| ORC
1| 4.127| On|  |  |  | On| On|  | Hold
2| 2.842| On|  |  |  | On|  | On|
**3*| 2.284| On|  |  | On|  | On|  | Hold

3* Is failsafe/limp mode.
4^ Is 4th Prime, used only on kick down.
Clutch’s on the transfer shaft are: Low clutch, Direct clutch & the One Way clutch (ORC).

Compounder One-Way Clutch

The stepped side of the outer race faces into
the Low Drum. When sprag assembly is installed in the Low drum, the Outer Race must
rotate Counter Clockwise while the drum held stationary.

Early rotating rings usually destroy the ring grooves on low clutch housing. Later housings are notched for non rotating rings 05078800AB
OE rings air check great and work excellent in these notched housings. 20-25 psi of regulated air must apply direct clutches on the bench, don’t assemble unit until they do!

Compounder Wear Areas

Loss of lube from shrunk sealing rings on the transfer shaft will accelerate wear on the ring tower causing
Direct Drum rings to leak. With severe wear, the top sealing ring may be found still in the drum here.

Updating the Low Clutch Housing to the latest Non-Rotating Ring type housing during overhaul is an great way to prevent rework due to ring groove damage. Even though it may not be damaged at time of overhaul, be warned, it does have a known high failure rate.
Remember the customer pays for the parts now, you have to pay for them later.
