Remanufactured 62TE For Your Journey

This is a remanufactured 62TE six speed automatic transmission built for the 2016 Dodge Journey with the 3.6L V6 and front wheel drive. It arrives ready to install, dyno tested by our technicians, and matched to the factory AT, 3.6L, FWD application. Relevant OEM tag numbers include 5169720AA, 5169720AB, P04753183AA, and 4753183AA. The torque converter is included, so you install a complete, verified unit rather than piecing components together.

The 62TE was engineered by Chrysler to replace the older four speed 41TE, delivering smoother shifting, improved fuel economy, and stronger launch behavior through its deep first gear and overdrive sixth. This FWD variant carries Option Sales Code DG2 and features an all aluminum case with electronic shift control and a lock up torque converter. It uses Mopar ATF+4 fluid only. Houston drivers rely on us as their local source for dependable, tested replacement transmissions.

Exact Fitment And Core Specs

This unit is the FWD 62TE specifically, distinct from the AWD version, so confirm your Journey is front wheel drive before ordering. It fits the 2016 Dodge Journey equipped with the 3.6L V6 DOHC 24-valve gas engine rated at 283 horsepower. The transmission is a non turbo, automatic, 4X2 drivetrain application. Verify your VIN and OEM tag numbers against the identifiers listed on this page.

Internally, the 62TE is a six speed with a deep 4.13:1 first gear, a 1.00:1 direct fifth, and a 0.69:1 overdrive sixth for highway efficiency. It also includes a 4th prime kickdown gear activated under heavy throttle for passing power. The input shaft carries 23 splines and the output shaft 32 splines. The aluminum case keeps weight manageable while housing hydraulically controlled planetary gear sets.

Electronic controls through the TCM and PCM manage every shift point for precise, adaptive performance across city and highway driving. The lock up torque converter and overdrive work together to keep engine speed low at cruise, supporting economy in the high teens city and mid twenties highway for the FWD Journey. Rated to roughly 260 lb ft of torque, this transmission is purpose built for the 3.6L V6.

What Is Included With This Unit

The remanufactured 62TE ships with the torque converter already fitted, so you receive a complete sealed unit ready for the bellhousing bolts. Every transmission is dyno tested before it leaves our shop, confirming shift quality and pressure behavior under load rather than relying on visual inspection alone.

The flex plate, external transmission cooler, and transmission fluid are not included with this unit. You will need to supply fresh Mopar ATF+4, which is the only approved fluid specification for the 62TE. Total fill with the cooler runs in the neighborhood of nine and a half quarts, so plan your fluid purchase accordingly.

We strongly recommend replacing the transmission oil cooler as part of this installation. The prior failure can leave debris or metal contamination in the cooler and lines, and that debris will migrate into your freshly remanufactured unit if the cooler is not addressed before startup.

Before you order, take a moment to confirm fitment against the exact details listed here. Check that your 2016 Journey has the 3.6L V6 and the FWD 4X2 drivetrain, since the AWD 62TE is a different configuration that will not interchange cleanly. Match your OEM tag numbers to 5169720AA, 5169720AB, P04753183AA, or 4753183AA where visible, and confirm the Option Sales Code DG2 that identifies the front wheel drive calibration. A quick VIN verification removes any guesswork and ensures the unit you receive is the right one for your vehicle.

If you are unsure whether your transmission is the FWD or AWD variant, look at how power is delivered at the vehicle and check your option codes before committing to the order. Getting drivetrain configuration correct is the single most important fitment step with the 62TE, because the two variants share a family name but differ internally. Our team reviews fitment details with every buyer, so you have a second set of experienced eyes confirming the application matches your Journey exactly before anything ships.

Why Journey Owners Replace The 62TE

Owners usually come to us after the 62TE starts slipping between gears, delaying engagement when shifting into drive, or slamming hard into Drive or Reverse. These symptoms point to internal wear that rarely improves on its own and typically signals the unit is nearing the end of its service life.

A well known 62TE fault is shifting into neutral on the 1 to 2 change, which can drop the vehicle into limp mode locked in third gear. Solenoid pack failures produce erratic shifting, trouble codes, and delayed engagement, while a failing EMCC VFS solenoid can stall the engine when selecting Drive or during coast down.

On 2016 units specifically, the pump can seize suddenly and strip all hydraulic pressure, leaving no forward, no reverse, and often no warning codes until after the stall. When you face burnt fluid, metal contamination, torque converter failure, or multiple clutch failures, a remanufactured replacement is the sound long term fix.

Installation of this 62TE is straightforward for an experienced shop, but a few steps protect both the transmission and your warranty. First, hot flush and flow test the cooler lines, then replace the transmission oil cooler to clear any restriction or contamination left behind by the failed unit. Skipping this step is the fastest way to damage a fresh transmission, because trapped debris circulates straight back into the new clutches and valve body as soon as fluid begins to flow.

Because the 62TE is a fully electronic transmission, a TCM relearn is critical after installation. Clear all vehicle codes and perform the relearn procedure associated with Option Sales Code DG2 so the controller can adapt shift timing to the new unit. Fill with Mopar ATF+4 only, bringing the system to roughly nine and a half quarts with the cooler. Verify fluid level at temperature, confirm clean shifts through all gears, and your Journey is ready for the road.

Tested, Backed, And Houston Based

Every transmission we sell passes through a thorough inspection and testing process carried out by experienced technicians who work on these units daily. This particular 62TE is dyno tested, meaning it is run under simulated load to verify shift quality, line pressure, and converter engagement before it is approved for sale. That hands on validation is the difference between a unit that merely looks good and one proven to perform.

Houston Engines backs this remanufactured 62TE with a solid warranty and thorough quality checks, giving you confidence that the unit shipped to your door was built and verified to a consistent standard. Following the recommended installation steps, including cooler replacement and flow testing the lines, keeps that coverage intact and protects your investment in the transmission for the long haul.

We are a Houston based supplier of used and remanufactured engines, transmissions, and transfer cases, and local drivers count on us as their go to source for reliable drivetrain parts. Whether you are a working repair shop or a hands on Journey owner, you get straight answers on fitment, specs, and what is included, backed by a team that genuinely knows the 62TE platform inside and out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What transmission does a 2016 Dodge Journey 3.6L FWD use?

The 2016 Dodge Journey with the 3.6L V6 and front wheel drive is factory equipped with the 62TE six speed automatic transmission. This remanufactured unit matches that exact AT, 3.6L, FWD application and carries Option Sales Code DG2 for the front wheel drive calibration.

Is the 62TE transmission reliable?

The 62TE is a capable six speed that delivers smooth shifting and good fuel economy when maintained properly with Mopar ATF+4. Like any transmission it has known wear points, but a professionally remanufactured and dyno tested unit addresses those issues and restores dependable performance to your Journey.

What are the most common problems with the 62TE in the Dodge Journey?

Common complaints include slipping between gears, hard slams into Drive or Reverse, shifting into neutral on the 1 to 2 change with limp mode, solenoid pack failures causing erratic shifts and codes, and on 2016 units a sudden pump seizure that kills hydraulic pressure.

Does replacing a 62TE transmission require a TCM relearn or reprogramming?

Yes. The 62TE is a fully electronic transmission, so after installation you must clear all vehicle codes and perform a TCM relearn associated with Option Sales Code DG2. The relearn lets the controller adapt shift timing to the new unit for proper engagement.

Does the transmission oil cooler need to be replaced when installing this unit?

Yes, cooler replacement is required. The prior failure can leave debris and metal contamination in the cooler and lines. We recommend hot flushing and flow testing the lines, then installing a new cooler so that contamination cannot migrate into your freshly remanufactured 62TE.

What fluid does the 2016 Dodge Journey 62TE transmission take?

The 62TE requires Mopar ATF+4 transmission fluid, and no other specification should be used. Total capacity with the cooler is approximately nine and a half quarts. Fluid is not included with this unit, so plan to supply fresh ATF+4 at installation.

What is included with this used 2016 Journey FWD transmission?

The remanufactured 62TE ships with the torque converter already included, so you receive a complete sealed unit. The flex plate, external transmission cooler, and transmission fluid are not included. Supply fresh Mopar ATF+4 and plan on a new cooler for the install.

What is the difference between the FWD and AWD versions of the 62TE?

This is the FWD variant, which differs internally from the AWD 62TE. Both share the family name, but drivetrain configuration affects fitment, so you must confirm your Journey is front wheel drive and carries Option Sales Code DG2 before ordering to avoid an incorrect match.
