Description

DESCRIPTION










The planetary gear train for the 62TE transaxle provides six forward gear ratios, including two fourth gear ratios. One reverse gear ratio is also provided.

Underdrive (UD) Compounder Assembly

- Low Clutch (LC)
- Direct Clutch (DC)
- Overrunning Clutch (ORC)
- Planetary gear set

Fore-Mounted Valve Body/Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly

- DC solenoid
- LC solenoid
- DC pressure switch
- LC pressure switch
- Torque Converter Clutch (TC) and pressure control Solenoids
- Line Pressure Sensor (LPS)
- An additional (third) speed sensor
- A "squashed," or flatter, torque converter
- A flatter oil pump
- A new cover for valve body access
- 23-way connector for the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly
- Redesigned transfer gears with an oil scavenger
- A remote pinion gear
- A 2-piece, closed differential case with structural clamshell housing.
The addition of the underdrive compounder assembly components improves low-end torque multiplication, enhancing low-end power capability.

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION





The 62TE transaxle is identified by a barcode label (1) that is fixed to the transaxle or the "PK" number (2).










The label contains a series of digits that can be translated into useful information such as transaxle part number, date of manufacture, manufacturing origin, plant shift number, build sequence number, etc. Refer to for identification label breakdown.

If the tag is not legible or missing, the "PK" number, which is stamped into the transaxle case behind the transfer gear cover, can be referred to for identification. This number differs slightly in that it contains the entire transaxle part number, rather than the last three digits.
