Disadvantages of the Chrysler 62TE gearbox
- The most common weak point of an automatic transmission is the low-pressure drum, which simply breaks;
- The solenoid unit in this transmission also doesn’t have the longest lifespan;
- By 100,000 km, one of the solenoids or the EPC sensor usually needs to be replaced;
- After 200,000 km, the bushings often need to be replaced due to vibration, as does the speed sensor;
- This transmission doesn’t like prolonged slippage, which can damage the planetary gear.
