Excellent video. I really like the style you have in explaining the process. Still--at 14:30 I said “yeah, this is beyond my skill set”. I try to save enough by doing my general repairs & maintenance that I don’t mind paying for repairs I’m not comfortable doing.
Thank you! I understand that and never be afraid to take a break. If it seems overwhelming it is usually bc you are tired or hungry. I know it is with me lol thanks for watching!!
I am so happy this video has helped so many people!!!! Thank you everyone for your continued support!! Dont forget to subscribe for more DIY Auto Repairs here on the channel!!
excellent video, with lots of very interesting explanations. In your opinion, why does my gearbox, when it reaches more than 80° and when I almost come to a stop, the engagement of first gear is sometimes a little abrupt and sometimes idling is a problem a little unstable. Thank you for your response, it would help me a lot. 13000km
I am going to guess you meant 130,000 km's and my 1st question would be are you receiving any transmission and engine codes. Sounds like a pressure problem but you need to confirm with transmission codes that you are receiving. Same with rough idle, that could range through ALOT of problems, knowing the engine code would narrow the search down. Especially since I don't have the vehicle in front of me. Thanks for watching and I await your response.
thank you for your feedback, I have had the diagnostic case carried out there is no error code neither in the engine nor in the gearbox, I bring you two details a few days ago, I wanted to pass the gears manually at low speed and a low pressure error code is displayed on the diagnostic, second thing, I noticed that when the box is very hot there is a little bit of the smell of engine oil. Box, which goes back to the passenger compartment? Thank you again for your clarifications.
@@RS-kz3gj No I never changed it. I keep getting codes for vacuum leaks and the PCM disconnect. I'm focusing on the PCM. It's not a coincidence, I don't believe, that all of these sensors keep coding but when you fix them they keep coding.
This is beautiful. Love this vid and subscribed. I have had a Trans issue has been Jerking, rarely does it but its there. Threw a code but i forgot which one it is. Ill come back and update once i put the obd 2 scanner. it's been troubling me because my mechanic said the $ can stack up quickly and process of elimination to fix the issue. This video is very informative and helpful. I am alittle intimidated once we start removing the sensitive parts and I learn as I go along. I also tackled opening the engine and putting In spark plugs and coils which was tedious but I loved that I learned it. Felt good to know I accomplished it. Even my mechanic was impressed lol because he said it's a pain In the ass to work on this platform. Thanks a bunch and wish me luck! Also I'll be using a Autel MaxiPRO MP808 scanner. Friend gave it to me because he doesn't do work on his cars himself. Just found out it's worth about 750$ lol.
I have a 2016 Grand Caravan with 85k miles. Yesterday I was driving and heard a whining sound. I was in a bad area at the time so I jumped on the highway, drove about 10 miles, and when I exited the highway, after coming to a stop, the van wouldn't go. It wasn't catching gears for a few seconds then finally caught gears enough to get it to the side of the road [no lights on dash]. I called a couple people, and decided to take a chance to go another 15 miles home. The ENTIRE TIME it would only go up to 2nd gear and sometimes wouldn't even do that. I finally got it home. There are still no warning lights on. I checked the trans fluid level with my scored oil dipstick [I learned to do this from other YT mechanics], and it read way too high. The fluid itself did not smell burnt and looked ok. I siphoned about 1.5 qt out to get it right at the top of the hot line. It's still having the same issue. Still no warning lights. This is our only vehicle. Advice would be MOST APPRECIATED. Thank you in advance!
Update: I disconnected the battery for a while and reconnected it. From what I read, that exited "limp mode." The van started to go then I heard the whining sound again, and the same thing happened [STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS ON]. I don't know how to diagnose it.
Ok, first of all that is not correct with your transmission dipstick, unless you checked the temperature of the transmission before checking the transmission itself. On the 62TE transmission the correct way is to check the transmission temperature by using live data on a code reader that has it, then taking that temperature and checking your transmission fluid level table that should of came with the transmission dipstick that is in the video description. Just seeing if you have transmission fluid is great and all, but if you do not know how to read it then it does no good at all. The other videos you watched showed you a great way to save $12 and getting the correct tool for the job. Now back to the problem at hand, when you unhooked your battery, you reset the computer just like you would a desktop. Sometimes the operating system will correct the problem then other times it wont if it is a hardware issue. What you have is a hardware issue. You do not have an engine code but I am sure you have a transmission code. On the Dodge Grand Caravan it only shows transmission codes if you have a code reader that can read transmission codes (not all code readers can). I would say from what you have said you have a faulty shift solenoid and since this solenoid is electrical when you reset the computer it tried to reset but failed. Double check for transmission code, but the part you need is in the video description. It is the transmission valve body, it comes with the new sensors. This is the cheaper option then just buying the sensor by itself, from what I found. Hope this helps!! Thanks for watching and subscribe for more DIY auto repair!!
I have been told on many occasions that when scanned there are low voltage codes. When I look at the connector where the harness plugs in (in the beginning of your video) it is in direct line of water drainage resulting from a sun heat warped windshield gutter not allowing water from rain or a car wash to drain off to the sides properly, instead it runs directly into to engine compartment and onto the harness and plug causing shortage. At one time after going through the car wash I noticed a weird burning plastic smell inside the car, sort of like an old transistor radio would smell if it overheated. Now as soon as I put the AC on it seems to put a drain on the voltage causing the miscommunication resulting in the trans downshifting from low speeds sort of rough. I brought it to Aamco and they tell me that a remanufactured transmission with labor is about $6K, but I know it's not a hardware issue, it's electrical. There is nothing wrong with the gears inside the transmission because it runs through all the gears fine without slipping getting up to speed, but when downshifting from low speeds it doesn’t seem to know how to respond at times, especially when I have the AC on in circulation mode.
Sounds like the plug needs cleaned or covered after replacement to prevent this from happening again. If there is nothing wrong mechanically then it's all electronic. What are you thinking of doing? Repairing it yourself and saving the $6,000? By the way I do have a complete transmission replacement of this vehicle walkthru as well. I got the transmission for $400, $6,000 is quite steep
Hi. Great video. I have a 2012 dodge cravan P0806 and P1745 codes. Doesnt shift past 2nd gear max mph is 40. Can I fix by replacing clutch solenoid or should i replace the valve like in the video? Thanks! All the vid and comments super helpful
Yes you can, but I found it to be more cost efficient to just get the valve body since it comes with the new solenoids already on it. Compared to buying the solenoids one at a time. I did link the valve body in the video description if you are looking for one. Thanks for watching!
Love this video! We are trying to salvage our beloved mini van. I was driving and it started acting up. Sputtering a bit whenever it shifted down or when I pushed on the gas it was a little delayed trying to get moving. It was very sudden and I tried to get home but it ended up totally failing while going up a hill. It now will start and run great but will not move at all. It was giving a code for Fluid pressure sensor A circuit permanent. Do you think changing the solenoid and filter and putting in new fluid could fix this? We have four kids and gotta get this thing going one way or another preferably without having to get a new vehicle 😖 the prices are sky high right now!
Out of all these videos that shows how to do this I was not able to find one that had the 3.8 engine. I have a 2010 with the 3.8 engine which requires you to take the exhaust crossover pipe off in order to get the sound shield and the metal cover off. The bolts that hold this pipe on that connect to the exhaust manifold that is next to the fire wall are had to remove and take some time, the nuts are special ones with a locking tab so try not to lose them. you will also need to get 2 exhaust gaskets before you reinstall this pipe.
The replacement kit online has the exhaust gaskets in the kit. Just make sure you put your model engine correct and it will be good to go. I have another transmission replacement video for the 62TE and the transmission I pulled came off a 3.8 with the exhaust crossover. The exhaust crossover is the only difference in the removal process. If you have any questions during the repair, feel free to message and I can help you out. Thank you for watching!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I did have to order the gaskets from a local auto parts store, told them that the engine was a 3.8 the gasket arrived and they were for a 3.6, the design of the gasket was different but they fit.
Perhaps you can help me with my 2012 Caravan at 230,000km. I bought it to convert it to a camper van so I got it cheap with problems. Problem 1. There’s rough idle in Drive and the seller said there’s a misfire. The is no vibrate when stopped in neutral. Problem 2. There’s jerking when I release brake and brake again. The steering wheel will jerk. The alignment is off right now for sure. Otherwise it runs fine going 100km without clunks. Transmission is fine. It brakes fine from that except the slight jerking on the steering wheel. Driving it would have that jerking too.
Sounds like you need a tune up and new brakes, I would check the suspension while you have the tire off. Inner and outer tie rods and stabilizer links are always good to keep in good order.
I just did mine to try to fix my reverse issue but now it just won’t go into drive, opposite problem but worse because at least I could drive it before, hoping you know what happened
You need to fill the transmission fluid to the correct level. Use a long funnel to fill where fill plug is located. Having the transmission dipstick from video will help get to correct level
Update. Vehicle is done. They also changed the range sensor, and not just the pack, but the whole valve assembly. Total is $2105. And they threw in a free inside and outside detailing. Gave me 10% off of the parts, and 2 years parts and labour warranty (unlimited Km’s).
Your videos are great! The breakdown on them are easy to follow and understand. I’m at this video now due to transmission troubles. Recently replaced the alternator, serpentine belt and PCM on 2011 town and country. After the PCM drove it for a week and now it’s having transmission problems. Won’t reverse after the car runs for a couple minutes but when it first starts it will. Throwing multiple codes (p0733, p0868, p0870, p0836 & p084a). Any ideas what could cause the reverse not to work after running for a minute or two?
You need the testing transmission dipstick, it is a tool by Mopar to check the transmission fluid. I show you how to use it in this video ruclips.net/video/ZHbuEu6GLkc/видео.html You have low transmission fluid, (P0868) You need to fill the system and retest. I am glad you enjoy the videos, please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the reply, subscribed to your channel. I bought the transmission dipstick and have enough fluid in there according to the diagram. It whines when it starts. Will reverse for a min or so and then won’t until the car is restarted. I’m going to change the filter next weekend but was wondering if this part “Trans Pressure Transducer Sensor - Mopar (5078708AC)” could be the culprit? I’m stumped at this point.
Thanks for this video! I have a 14 Grand Caravan. It goes into park, reverse and 1st gear. Unknown service history. Would you think a new solenoid would allow the transmission to shift into the other gears?
2016 R/T Caravan no codes showing runs fines other than a slight rough idle in park and drive and it surges during acceleration revs up to 2k rpm and back to 1k/1.5k rpm and runs fine after that
Clean your IAC "Idle Air Controller" and your MAF "Mass Air Flow" Sensor. These can be found on your throttle body the MAF will be on the intake tube. Clean those and you should be good to go. Thank you for watching!
Eso serían 5,2 litros y no, no tienes que hacer un proceso de reaprendizaje. Debe asegurarse de que el líquido esté en el nivel correcto utilizando la varilla medidora de prueba de transmisión. Entonces te sugiero que cambies de marcha antes de salir en un vehículo en el que acabas de reemplazar la transmisión. ¡Gracias por mirar!
I'm under a different profile but I'm the one with the 2013 t&c. I took the pan off and drained the fluid. All I see are shavings in there that turn to mush when you try to pick them up with a paper towel. Is that normal with 166000 miles on it? I also had it flushed a few years ago but I don't know what all they did to it.
Yes, that is normal in a transmission pan. Shavings and slivers are normal it is when you see metal chunks that is a very bad. Remember in your transmission it has metal on metal contact with the gears turning. Your transmission fluid, lubricates and disperses heat placed by said friction of the metal. Make sure to change your transmission filter, and fresh fluid to keep your transmission running for years to come.
I have trans fluid coming out of the overflow valve (everyone calls it something different) on top of the transmission which makes me believe I have too much pressure or a temperature problem to make the fluid boil out. Any idea? So far, I have about 20 different ideas which could become a real financial problem. Mine is a 2014 town and country 3.6 62te
Also found out that they did two recalls. Some cover for the steering wheel wiring, and a software update. Whoop, whoop 🙌. She drives like a brand new vehicle. The shifts I noticed are a lot different, almost like they’re closer together. That was part of the software update. I’m so scared to drive it 😟 and it break down 😂. The 3.6 is a great engine. I drive it real easy, if only I did the pan and filter instead of a fluid exchange at the quickly lube. I probably could have gotten more out of it. But a snow plow did hit my vehicle in the front drivers side all the way down to the rear. He was backing up and smoked my parked vehicle with his blade. I drove it home, but never went over 50. Then I noticed I had this problem with the transmission. Not sure if it’s related, but I noticed the limp mode the next day. Body shop picked it up with a tow truck. Got it back and they said no visible damage to the transmission, not part of the accident. Took it to the dealership as mentioned to get a diagnosis. And this is where we are at. Pan and filter changed, full fluid flush. Codes p1745 and p0868 along with my oil codes. Pan/filter and flush didn’t fix the issue. Fluid was a little burnt and no debris found in the pan 😮💨. But as you know, the pack, valve, and range sensor had to be replaced…accident related??? I couldn’t ask the dealership because I picked up my vehicle after hours and it was just a secretary.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars 2011 , stuck in first gear, happend today. Getting p1745 and po868 codes. Haven't tore onto it yet ,its the neighbors and I'm just trying to get info! What do you think?. Thanks in advance!
@@stevehamman4465 0868 is your pressure sensor malfunctioning. Yet 1745 is transmission fluid pressure is running too high. This makes me think 2 things 1) when did you change the transmission filter and fluid last? 2) what level is the trans fluid at?
My 2013 t&c just stranded me. It starts and runs good but it won't go anywhere. Feels like it is in neutral when i put it into drive. Will this most likely fix that problem? And if so, where is the video description at so i can see all the parts that i need? Im not too technologically advanced lol. I just want to get everything that i need. Oh and thank you for this video! You make it seem pretty simple and without this video i would never know how to do this lol. And i don't have a transmission code checker and i havent had it read either. This is our only vehicle and if this will fix it id rather do that than trade it in. Ill have it paid off in august lol
lol far from brother, dumb people dont try to save themselves money and this is one repair that will save you a BUNDLE of cash! Let me know if you have any questions about the repair and I will help accordingly. Thank you for watching!
Thank you. I didn't expect you to respond so quickly. So thank you for that as well. Do you think this is probably the problem with it? I checked the fluid and it was normal color but had a burnt smell to it
I have Fiat Freemont 3.6 2014 year which is Dodge Journey and have weard issue with it. The car, after warming up and driving for about 15-20 minutes, 80-100 km / h when braking to 0 before a crossroads or lights, sometimes starts to jerk as if it did not disengage the gear, the engine shakes, it pulls the gear even though I am braking. If it is dragged on the brake to 0, it will go off, or if the brake is released, sometimes it will manage to give up a gear and will not go off. It never happens in the city itself when driving up to 60-70 km / h, only on the road and only when I’m braking to 0. No code. I could add that few months ago I had change fluid (the mechanic said that he poured the appropriate fluid designated for these cars). I’ve read on one forum that changing 62TE TCC Solenoid could fix the problem, do You have this kind of situation earlier with any Chrysler/Dodge?
The whole assembly you first removed is called a connector, not a clip. Also the light gray part is a mate assist lever. You press the latch to move the mate assist lever. The reason for the lever is because the force to simply push on the electrical connector is too high because of all the terminals, so the mate assist lever has a cam that makes the mate and unmate force easier.
I am happy to hear that brother! The Dodge Caravan even though it is a great vehicle, it had some problems with it but hey......what doesnt? Am I right? Thanks for watching brother!
Next thing I need done is the oil cooler filter housing. They want $1300!!! I’m gonna take it to a regular garage where they charge less per hour. If only I had the tools and time to do it. But for the transmission, I wanted professionals dealing with it that know these vehicles inside and out. I don’t mind paying to have it done right and under warranty.
Check your transmission oil level, it could be that your fluid is low. If you have never changed your transmission fluid then you are looking at doing a transmission fluid change at least.

I have a 2013 200 with the 6 speed trans. I put in a used one and the connector to the solenoid is different than my old trans. Can I just change out the solenoid pack or do I need to do something else?
Hey Mike! Thank you for watching I am glad that you found the video beneficial to your transmission valve body replacement. I used silicone for my transmission pan reinstall.
Hello, my Journey 2014 3.6 went into emergency mode and made a cavitation noise in the Valve Body, I replaced the Filter and the oil because it was clogged and after I replaced the oil and the filter the Code P083B appears, already I reset the code with a scanner but the code comes back, I've already checked all the electrical harnesses, everything is ok, and no noise appears. Could it be the valve body? Or the Pressure Sensor?
The pressure sensor is going to be located on the valve body and will be cheaper to just replace the valve body since it includes the sensor as well. Make sure to check your orings when reassembling, you have a pressure problem, even the smallest oring can make a difference when it comes to having the correct pressure for your transmission. Thank you for watching!
You have to do it be feel brother, the tubes are bent, So do a hook with them when reinstalling, when you hook it into the hole they go into, you will feel the holes they are supposed to sit in. After you push them in, give them a little bit more of a push and you will feel them, almost click but they will fit snugly into their resting spot. After you get them installed, then reinstall the tubes onto the back of the valve body, this should make it easier. Hope this helps brother
pretty new at this but financially need to be able to do more repairs or know what I need when taking for repairs.My Journey with 62te will not shift out of first, drives, high rpm but not shifting. It will reverse (I am not driving it until problem diagnosed) What should I check? appreciate what you are doing thanks and subscibed
Are you getting any transmission trouble codes? You will need a code reader that can read transmission codes. Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel!
You have two separate issues, P0300 and P0301 are misfires, when is the last time you have done a tune up to the engine? P0740 is your torque converter clutch solenoid malfunctioning and will need replaced. make sure to install a new transmission filter as well while you have the transmission pan off. Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more DIY Auto repair here on the channel!
Did you add the correct amount of transmission fluid? Keep listening for the whine while you add more transmission fluid. The whine will slowly go away, that is how I know I am getting to the proper fluid level.

Thanks for the video. I just replaced the valve body/solenoid pack in my 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. Everything seemed to go well, and there are no error codes, but now the Caravan won't shift out of park. What is the likely problem?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thanks for the quick reply. (I apologize for the delay in responding as I couldn't find the RUclips video that I had asked the question in.) I do have an aftermarket dipstick to check the fluid with, and the level is just fine. I realize now that I should have been more specific. The gear shifter would not move at all. After I asked the question, I pushed the release just above the gear shifter, and the knob would then move, although it was hard to do so. According to the indicator on the dash, I was able to get it to move from park to reverse to neutral, and then back to park. However, when the gear shifter was all the way at the bottom where drive should be, the indicator on the dash said that the transmission was in neutral. It seems that that the gear shifter and the transmission range sensor are no longer in sync, but I'm not sure what to do from here. I have taken the valve body cover back off to check the position of the transmission range sensor, and I believe that it is in the correct position (it's in the slot farthest to the right, which I'm pretty sure was the position it was originally in). I did not move the cable on top of the transmission, so I don't think that's the problem. Any help would very much be appreciated.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I was thinking that must be the case. The lever at the bottom of my valve body is in the same position as it is at 13:17 in your video (all the way at the bottom or farthest back position), but I see that you placed the lever in a slightly different position at 24:08 (it appears to be up one notch from the bottom). Is that my problem? If so, do I need to take the valve body back out and reinstall it, or can I re-position it without taking it out again?
How did you figure out that it was that solenoid ? I replaced the shift solenoid pack on mine and now it just don't want to shift right like it'll go high rpm and barely go anywhere. Should I replace the valve body as well ?
My 2013 caravan tries to kick into passing gear when at only 2500rpm while still in low gear. You have to speed up very slowly not to have passing gear engage. Is there any reason for this?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thank you for your response. I know the transmission pan has it where the filter goes below. I was referring to the valve body cover in the video. I can't find any information on a gasket for that and wondered if the Permatex A/T gasket maker was appropriate to use there.
Check your transmission fluid level and color first. The code means your reverse solenoid circuit is low. Worst case scenario you need a new valve body. But start with the fluid and color first.
Hi I have a 2013 G Caravan 3.6 liter. And when I drive the van, the trasmition slept on 2g and then comes back normal. Can your tutorial fin my problem? And ir yes what's the name for the part
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Yes sr I will and will share your video on music Chanel and Facebook :) Amd the thing is that I both the van 2 days ago. Can I do a flash on the transmission oil and filter first? To chale levels?
to check the transmission fluid levels properly on this vehicle you would need to have the transmission fluid dipstick which is linked in the video description if you do not have one. Make sure you are in park or neutral and the transmission needs to be at operating temperature. You did the service 2 days ago? Thank you for sharing my video as well!!!!
Oh ok, did you purchase it from a dealership? Because I would have them correct the problem to save you money. If not then it is time to check the color of the transmission fluid. It should be cherry red but in this case I believe yours is going to be pretty dark. That means the filter is stopped up and the fluid itself has no circulation so it is burning.
I have a 2017 dodge grand caravan I backed up it shifted hard into reverse trans began to shift hard into gears made it home luckily no codes. Let it cool down started it and got codes p083b and p0841 van doesn't want to move. Outside temp 29° buddy's scanner said trans temp was 44.67° it whines in park and netural. Transfuid is darker than it should be, appears 2 be on the fuller side but that's with marking out the oil dipstick hack. And engine warm but can't drive to heat up fluid with friction. What would you try?
Sounds like that solenoid is cooked, the fluid being dark only means the filter is even darker. The tiny screens in the solenoid freeze up when sediment is in the system. Time for a flush or replacement...veering more towards replacement time.
Thanks so much for making this very informative video. I own a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport 3.8L V6 Front wheel drive. I went out to my van on Tuesday morning I cranked it up and I noticed I was feeling vibrations as I was sitting in the driver seat I let it run for about 5 minutes. When I put it in reverse and pressed on the gas the van cut out. I cranked it back up and put it in Drive and it cut out again. So I had my uncle come over and he hooked up a computer to my van and it said I had a misfire on 5. So I went to auto zone purchased new wires and spark plugs had those installed by my dad and that still didn't fix the problem. So my uncle came back drove my van forcefully. When he came back with the van it smelled like burning rubber. He put it back on the computer now it gave him codes for the transmission. Do you think that changing the part on my van that you changed in the video would help my van? Thank you.
What it sounds like is that you are having pressure problems. I have the same problem on a 2003 Dodge Caravan that I have right now and will be doing the repair on it soon as well. This is a common problem with MOPAR vehicles. This video would help you, although your transmission valve body is different than the one shown in the video. Same idea, just different valve body. I will be taking mine apart tomorrow if you would like, I can record it and have it online in 2 days. Would this help you?? Thank you for watching as well!!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Omgoodness! Thank you so much for responding to my comment. I really appreciate you! And yes please I would love it if you'd make a video when you do the work on your van. Again thanks so much! I'll be looking forward to watching your videos.
I removed the transmission valve body today from the 2003 Dodge Caravan. I will be editing the content tomorrow and should have it posted no later than Sunday.
Are there any noises or codes? You should be receiving a transmission code because it sounds like a solenoid just failed, if you are getting no noises.

Did you use your transmission dipstick to check your fluid level? The 62TE is a very sensitive transmission and needs the proper level of fluid. Also remember to cycle thru the gears after you fill the transmission fluid. Thank you for watching!
Ya I have the fluid level at the correct amount and I cycle thru the gears but the transmission isn't actually shifting through them for me. I didn't know if there would be away to reset all the TCM or cars computer to have it realize there is a new valve body in there
With that transmission code you are needing to replace your TCC Solenoid which is attached to your solenoid pack. It is cheaper to purchase the solenoid pack as a whole. I found mine on Etsy and it was remanufactured. Let me know if you need the company's link I order mine from, it will save you a few hundred dollars.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I’m getting the solenoid pack today, the tcc is the one that has the fragile clip? If so, the solenoid pack doesn’t have the tcc..
Awesome video. What was the purpose for replacing solenoid pack? I have a code that came up last week P0841. Does replacing this pack resolve the issue. My transmission has been engaging but it’s kind of delayed. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video! With that code you are having a problem with your pressure sensor circuit. The solenoid pack holds that pressure sensor. When is the last time you have serviced your transmission? While you are in there I would replace the transmission filter and new transmission fluid as well.

Hello! i have the same transmission on my 2013 dodge avenger sxt 2.4l 6 speed i have a problem with it while driving when i drive 30 miles and start braking and the transmission shifts shifts from 3rd gear to 2nd gear and at this point when it shifts at 20 miles i hear a thump Even when the car is stationary, it works, I try to switch gears from P-R-D, I hear kicking, and when I checked, the engine moves as if all the supports are broken, although the supports are in normal condition
Sounds like you have an internal gear issue with your transmission. Are you getting any transmission codes from a code reader? Make sure the code reader can read transmission codes or you wont be able to see them.
Any suggestions on what to look for in scan data or even on a scope to catch the issue? I have a customer (2012 tc) that's says it feels like it's sputtering in 2nd up hills, very intermittent....i haven't confirmed the complaint yet (car Will be dropped off Sunday for a diagnosis) but the way she describes it, sounds like she's describing a misfire....however the side pan is leaking so she may be right. I'll have to interrogate her more thoroughly and have her drive the car with me in it.
Is she getting any engine trouble light on? I always like to think of vehicles as a puzzle and a good puzzle leaves bread crumbs. If it is a transmission issue you will be getting a trouble code but your code reader must be able to read transmission codes. Start with the codes and go from there.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I always do a full scan report pre and post service on all my vehicles so maybe there's something, I have 4 scan tools ( verus, autel 906bt, smartdiag, and can use factory through my cardaq3+ j-box). Just wondering if there is anything in particular I should be looking at. And like I said, how she described it sounded more like a miss than a trans problem. I'm a mobile diagnostic tech but admittedly my weak point is transmission diagnostics.
If it is the transmission you will be getting a low pressure transmission code. If you are experiencing a misfire then you will be experiencing that in every gear not just 2nd. If is sputtering you might want to look at your fuel system. There are a few things it could be but the best thing would be to look at the vehicle and diagnose from there.
Well, trans is low at cold point and still waiting for it to reach temp to read the operating temp point...bored waiting for this to reach temp do I'll replying now 😆 i also found the battery is bad...I'm not surprised...this customer has multiple cars that I've been servicing (from a now out of business shop) and they ALL have had bad battery or terminal ends!! Not kidding..ALL!! I know Chrysler likes to do load shedding and can cause all sorts of issues with drivability so after getting the right amount of fluid in it I'll have to sell her a battery before I can move forward. I Should just tell her to get a new battery installed in anything I haven't serviced for her yet before bringing it to me 😆.
I have a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan same transmission I took it to the mechanic he changed the transmission solenoid afterwards the car was not driving100% percent every time I was stopping at the red light I felt that the transmission was jumping. Driving the car for about 2 weeks it stopped shifting. The car was on, was running the shift was on D yet the car wouldn't drive I was blocking the road for about 40 minutes and all of a sudden it started driving again. I took the car to the same mechanic he's telling me because there are no check engine lights on he thinks is a transmission which will cost me $2,000 plus labor. The car drives but I don't know when I'm going to get stranded again. Do you think could be something else more simpler rather than changing the whole transmission? My gut feeling is telling me that the mechanic didn't know what he was doing .
That is quite a predicament you have yourself in there. This video will fix that problem without switching the entire transmission. The part does cost in between 200 and $300. But replacing it as long as you follow this video will be very simple. Don't forget to get your ATF which is your automatic transmission fluid as well. What is happening with your vehicle is the hydraulic pressures are not getting where they need to be. The 62 t e transmission that can be found in the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country is a very sensitive transmission. What happens is, if you do not change the transmission filter at the set manufacturer recommended maintenance interval then debris can fill the filter. After the debris from the transmission pan feels the filter it goes through the rest of the system blocking the ports of the hydraulic fluid. Once the system has cooled and has settled down again the debris that was blocking that poor will then free up. This will match your situation of blocking the road for 40 minutes then it suddenly started driving again. The transmission valve body is your problem not the transmission itself. Also a great way to tell is to drop the transmission pan. If you see any parts of the transmission as in transmission metal chunks sitting in the fluid then your transmission is bad. If there are no metal chunks then it is the valve body.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars thank you for your reply I will follow your steps and change the transmission oil and transmission filter. I have a question do you think the local auto parts sell the O-rings? Looks like I'm going to need 6. I don't know what the previous mechanic did I want to make sure I do everything right this time
Sounds great and yes the local parts store will have those O-rings period if not try to find a hydraulic hose shop in your local area. They will definitely have the O-ring. You are most welcome for the reply as well please let me know if you have any additional questions.
@@yougovirtualnow3439 my friend what code are you getting? Is it TCM code? Is your car going on limp mode? I can help Just need a little more Info, replacing the selenoid pack wont fix the problem if it is an electrical issue, very common problem with this vehicles, replacing the filter and fluid is great maintenance but will not fix the problem. The 62 TE suffers from great communication Electrical problems from TCM to TIPM that affects the voltage getting to the selenoid pack. Do not pay thousands for things that do not need replacement. O rings at the dealer we charge $4 an original , filter get OEM , WiX is good but not a perfect fit. Most places charge around $1200 for a selenoid pack replacement no way. And if you come to the dealers we'll suggest a new transmission. $3000 +.
Yes Andreti it could be an electrical issue, but why should he look for an electrical issue if he has burnt transmission fluid. That would be a clear indication of a clogged filter. But you are right, more info is needed for a proper diagnosis.
I have 2011 dodge caravan an had transmissions slipping I bought a remanufactured shift solenoid installed it an back to acting up again was I suppose to what you pointed out @ minute 16:00 let me know please. Thanks
That is like saying its ok to reuse your engine oil after its been used. I am teaching the proper way not the way that will get you by. I guarantee you that dealerships do not reuse the oil they just drained. But you do you
I have a 2014 grand caravan, I have the code P1745 and P0868. After I cleaned the codes, just the P1745 camed back. I already replaced the kickdown solenoid and the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, but the problem was not solved. The car stay in the 3rd gear. I can reverse too. Please help me!
This is the reason I replaced the the valve body which includes all attached solenoids. The P1745 code is line pressure too high, this means you have an obstruction in your lines. This usually happens because the transmission filter is clogged and has let some debris thru, into your lines, causing the clog. It is time to flush your transmission valve body, I walked thru this process in the video when covering the small filter screens on the back of the valve body.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I just found the problem. After hours working, the car show the code P0882. TCU low input. Was a relay. Just replaced, and working. Thanks!
P1745 2018 dodge journey sxt 3.6 when going from park to drive or neutral to reverse it shifts hard while foot is on the brake. I tested pin 12 line solenoid with positive lead on 10 it was 5.5 ohms all other pins checked out within spec. But it stays in the same gear won't shift to other gears for highway speeds. Replaced filter and fluid as well.?
@@AJ-bf6dp Always trying to help you get back on the road quicker without breaking the bank, even on my birthday. Heres the link you requested amzn.to/3r26XXB Let me know if I can be of any further assistance
I have a Dodge Caravan 2012 I change the transmission but when they get the spray way for 45 minutes no stopping 60 mile four hour does transmission start kicking I need to know if it’s a sensor or the transmission
Could this fix my issues? My van keeps kicking me out of 6th gear back into neutral when going hwy speeds and redlines. Do not want to have to drop 3500+ for rebuild or new trans if I don't need to. Van is at 140K. mine is a 2011 Crew. Thanks.
I would love to say yes but to be for sure, it is time to drop your transmission fluid pan. If there are any metal chunks in there then you have a mechanical problem. If there is only metal glitter then you are okay (mechanically), you have a pressure problem. Which the pressure problem would be solved by this video, also have you received any transmission codes? Dont forget to subscribe, I always love helping my subscribers :)
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Yes just from AutoZone. Codes P0729 Gear Ratio Error in 6th, P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold, P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit- Bank 1 Sensor 1, C121C Torque request Signal Denied.
I actually did fluid and filter change right after watching this video and it's still doing the same thing. I have been able to bypass 6th gear by just driving it in manual and never driving it over 5th gear. If I do drive it as normal around 5th/6th gear it kicks out of gear rpms read line and I can not excelerate I have to just take foot off gas and wait for rpms to come back down and it kicks/jurks back into gear or have to stop and kill engine and start again if it doesn't kick back into gear. I have been driving it in manual mode long enough at my check engine light has turned off. I'm thinking it's a computer issue since I have been able to bypass it acting up.
I also had cam position sensor replaced when I had transmission fluid change. As far as I know the fluid that was changed was normal no large cuncks of metal in the fluid. Thank you for your help and previous responses.
I have a 2013 doge grand caravan thats stuck in limp mode. And its throwing a P0760 code overdrive solenoid contol circuit. Do you know which soliend this is or which one i have to change? The vehicle has 88,000 miles on it
That would be shift solenoid c. But at the time of doing this repair I found that the entire solenoid block with valve body was cheaper than an individual solenoid.
I don't have any transmission codes coming up on a 2011 T@C...... it "occasionally" acts as tho it does not want to shift from 3 to 4..... is that the pack?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars so then it is hard to tell, so I guess it would be better to go ahead and replace the valve body and the TCC while I'm there just in case........
Yes this would correct the p0868 diagnostic code on the 2013 Dodge Caravan. With this diagnostic code being brought up due to low line pressure. The three lines that are in the back of the valve body. The 3 metal lines that I show in the video make sure you replace the O-rings that are on those tubes.
I have a code p1745 on a 2013 grand caravan and thought to change out the Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid. I did have the code for P0868 as well. But I cleared that and hasnt come back since. Right now its stuck in Limp mode. Not sure what to fix now since watching this video.
P1745 on your 2013 Grand Caravan means that the transmission pressure has been too high for too long. The pressure control solenoid you are speaking of replacing will be on the valve body as shown in the video. Depending on the price of a solenoid you are trying to replace, sometimes it will be cheaper just to replace the valve body.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Its $200 something on RockAuto. And the whole Valve body (complete) is $700. But If that doesn't fix my problem then I have to take it apart again. I've been having problems with the tranny all year. Just don't drive it much. It slips sometimes. Sometimes it would shift hard. I replaced the tranny fluid when i did the coolant lines. My question is do you think I should just replace the whole Valve body or just do the pressure control solenoid?
www.etsy.com/au/listing/783939277/62te-6-speed-transmission-valve-body that is the valve body that I order for my 62TE transmission valve body replacement. I have ordered a few from them and they are remanufactured units but come with a warranty and save you a bundle
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thank you for the fast responses. I want to get the whole thing with everything on it. The one on RockAuto has the pressure control solenoid and the tcc.
No, the transmission will do a self-learn process. Remember though when you are refilling the transmission fluid to cycle through the gears when you get to the correct fluid level. You will feel the gears getting smoother and smoother each time you cycle through the gears. I do it 4 to 5 times to cycle all the fluid through.

excellent video, with lots of very interesting explanations.
In your opinion, why does my gearbox, when it reaches more than 80° and when I almost come to a stop, the engagement of first gear is sometimes a little abrupt and sometimes idling is a problem a little unstable. Thank you for your response, it would help me a lot.
13000km
I am going to guess you meant 130,000 km's and my 1st question would be are you receiving any transmission and engine codes. Sounds like a pressure problem but you need to confirm with transmission codes that you are receiving. Same with rough idle, that could range through ALOT of problems, knowing the engine code would narrow the search down. Especially since I don't have the vehicle in front of me. Thanks for watching and I await your response.
thank you for your feedback, I have had the diagnostic case carried out there is no error code neither in the engine nor in the gearbox, I bring you two details a few days ago, I wanted to pass the gears manually at low speed and a low pressure error code is displayed on the diagnostic, second thing, I noticed that when the box is very hot there is a little bit of the smell of engine oil. Box, which goes back to the passenger compartment? Thank you again for your clarifications.
Glad I found this. I've been looking all over for the transmission pressure sensor. I saw it on the left as soon as you opened it up 😃
Glad to be of service Jonah
Did it fix your problem
@@RS-kz3gj No I never changed it. I keep getting codes for vacuum leaks and the PCM disconnect. I'm focusing on the PCM. It's not a coincidence, I don't believe, that all of these sensors keep coding but when you fix them they keep coding.
This is beautiful. Love this vid and subscribed. I have had a Trans issue has been Jerking, rarely does it but its there. Threw a code but i forgot which one it is. Ill come back and update once i put the obd 2 scanner. it's been troubling me because my mechanic said the $ can stack up quickly and process of elimination to fix the issue. This video is very informative and helpful. I am alittle intimidated once we start removing the sensitive parts and I learn as I go along. I also tackled opening the engine and putting In spark plugs and coils which was tedious but I loved that I learned it. Felt good to know I accomplished it. Even my mechanic was impressed lol because he said it's a pain In the ass to work on this platform. Thanks a bunch and wish me luck! Also I'll be using a Autel MaxiPRO MP808 scanner. Friend gave it to me because he doesn't do work on his cars himself. Just found out it's worth about 750$ lol.
Sounds great Jose and yes the tools cost quite a bit the longer you are a mechanic and the more elaborate tools you need.
I have a 2016 Grand Caravan with 85k miles. Yesterday I was driving and heard a whining sound. I was in a bad area at the time so I jumped on the highway, drove about 10 miles, and when I exited the highway, after coming to a stop, the van wouldn't go. It wasn't catching gears for a few seconds then finally caught gears enough to get it to the side of the road [no lights on dash]. I called a couple people, and decided to take a chance to go another 15 miles home. The ENTIRE TIME it would only go up to 2nd gear and sometimes wouldn't even do that. I finally got it home. There are still no warning lights on. I checked the trans fluid level with my scored oil dipstick [I learned to do this from other YT mechanics], and it read way too high. The fluid itself did not smell burnt and looked ok. I siphoned about 1.5 qt out to get it right at the top of the hot line. It's still having the same issue. Still no warning lights. This is our only vehicle. Advice would be MOST APPRECIATED. Thank you in advance!
Update: I disconnected the battery for a while and reconnected it. From what I read, that exited "limp mode." The van started to go then I heard the whining sound again, and the same thing happened [STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS ON]. I don't know how to diagnose it.
Update 2: After disconnecting the battery again, I finally got the van to throw code P083B
Writing response in update below
Ok, first of all that is not correct with your transmission dipstick, unless you checked the temperature of the transmission before checking the transmission itself. On the 62TE transmission the correct way is to check the transmission temperature by using live data on a code reader that has it, then taking that temperature and checking your transmission fluid level table that should of came with the transmission dipstick that is in the video description. Just seeing if you have transmission fluid is great and all, but if you do not know how to read it then it does no good at all. The other videos you watched showed you a great way to save $12 and getting the correct tool for the job. Now back to the problem at hand, when you unhooked your battery, you reset the computer just like you would a desktop. Sometimes the operating system will correct the problem then other times it wont if it is a hardware issue. What you have is a hardware issue. You do not have an engine code but I am sure you have a transmission code. On the Dodge Grand Caravan it only shows transmission codes if you have a code reader that can read transmission codes (not all code readers can). I would say from what you have said you have a faulty shift solenoid and since this solenoid is electrical when you reset the computer it tried to reset but failed. Double check for transmission code, but the part you need is in the video description. It is the transmission valve body, it comes with the new sensors. This is the cheaper option then just buying the sensor by itself, from what I found. Hope this helps!! Thanks for watching and subscribe for more DIY auto repair!!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thank you so much! I am trying to get someone here with a decent scanner that can scan the trans codes.
I have been told on many occasions that when scanned there are low voltage codes.
When I look at the connector where the harness plugs in (in the beginning of your video) it is in direct line of water drainage resulting from a sun heat warped windshield gutter not allowing water from rain or a car wash to drain off to the sides properly, instead it runs directly into to engine compartment and onto the harness and plug causing shortage.
At one time after going through the car wash I noticed a weird burning plastic smell inside the car, sort of like an old transistor radio would smell if it overheated. Now as soon as I put the AC on it seems to put a drain on the voltage causing the miscommunication resulting in the trans downshifting from low speeds sort of rough.
I brought it to Aamco and they tell me that a remanufactured transmission with labor is about $6K, but I know it's not a hardware issue, it's electrical. There is nothing wrong with the gears inside the transmission because it runs through all the gears fine without slipping getting up to speed, but when downshifting from low speeds it doesn’t seem to know how to respond at times, especially when I have the AC on in circulation mode.
Sounds like the plug needs cleaned or covered after replacement to prevent this from happening again. If there is nothing wrong mechanically then it's all electronic. What are you thinking of doing? Repairing it yourself and saving the $6,000? By the way I do have a complete transmission replacement of this vehicle walkthru as well. I got the transmission for $400, $6,000 is quite steep
You have explained very well. Neat job. Thank you. 👍

Hi. Great video. I have a 2012 dodge cravan P0806 and P1745 codes. Doesnt shift past 2nd gear max mph is 40. Can I fix by replacing clutch solenoid or should i replace the valve like in the video? Thanks! All the vid and comments super helpful
Yes you can, but I found it to be more cost efficient to just get the valve body since it comes with the new solenoids already on it. Compared to buying the solenoids one at a time. I did link the valve body in the video description if you are looking for one. Thanks for watching!
Love this video! We are trying to salvage our beloved mini van. I was driving and it started acting up. Sputtering a bit whenever it shifted down or when I pushed on the gas it was a little delayed trying to get moving. It was very sudden and I tried to get home but it ended up totally failing while going up a hill. It now will start and run great but will not move at all. It was giving a code for Fluid pressure sensor A circuit permanent. Do you think changing the solenoid and filter and putting in new fluid could fix this? We have four kids and gotta get this thing going one way or another preferably without having to get a new vehicle 😖 the prices are sky high right now!
Yes, and also make sure you replace the Orings on the vacuum tubes. Thank you for watching! Dont forget to like and subscribe for more DIY auto!
Out of all these videos that shows how to do this I was not able to find one that had the 3.8 engine. I have a 2010 with the 3.8 engine which requires you to take the exhaust crossover pipe off in order to get the sound shield and the metal cover off. The bolts that hold this pipe on that connect to the exhaust manifold that is next to the fire wall are had to remove and take some time, the nuts are special ones with a locking tab so try not to lose them. you will also need to get 2 exhaust gaskets before you reinstall this pipe.
The replacement kit online has the exhaust gaskets in the kit. Just make sure you put your model engine correct and it will be good to go. I have another transmission replacement video for the 62TE and the transmission I pulled came off a 3.8 with the exhaust crossover. The exhaust crossover is the only difference in the removal process. If you have any questions during the repair, feel free to message and I can help you out. Thank you for watching!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I did have to order the gaskets from a local auto parts store, told them that the engine was a 3.8 the gasket arrived and they were for a 3.6, the design of the gasket was different but they fit.
How is the vehicle running now?

i'm working on my dads right now and it shifts out of 2 when it feels like it. get over 40 to 45 and it's like it's in neutral
Perhaps you can help me with my 2012 Caravan at 230,000km.
I bought it to convert it to a camper van so I got it cheap with problems.
Problem 1. There’s rough idle in Drive and the seller said there’s a misfire. The is no vibrate when stopped in neutral.
Problem 2. There’s jerking when I release brake and brake again. The steering wheel will jerk. The alignment is off right now for sure.
Otherwise it runs fine going 100km without clunks. Transmission is fine. It brakes fine from that except the slight jerking on the steering wheel. Driving it would have that jerking too.
Sounds like you need a tune up and new brakes, I would check the suspension while you have the tire off. Inner and outer tie rods and stabilizer links are always good to keep in good order.
I just did mine to try to fix my reverse issue but now it just won’t go into drive, opposite problem but worse because at least I could drive it before, hoping you know what happened
You need to fill the transmission fluid to the correct level. Use a long funnel to fill where fill plug is located. Having the transmission dipstick from video will help get to correct level
Update. Vehicle is done. They also changed the range sensor, and not just the pack, but the whole valve assembly. Total is $2105. And they threw in a free inside and outside detailing. Gave me 10% off of the parts, and 2 years parts and labour warranty (unlimited Km’s).
That's what I did as well, replaced the entire valve assembly and solenoid pack. Good to hear you got your vehicle back on the road.
Where did you bring it?

Your videos are great! The breakdown on them are easy to follow and understand. I’m at this video now due to transmission troubles. Recently replaced the alternator, serpentine belt and PCM on 2011 town and country. After the PCM drove it for a week and now it’s having transmission problems. Won’t reverse after the car runs for a couple minutes but when it first starts it will. Throwing multiple codes (p0733, p0868, p0870, p0836 & p084a). Any ideas what could cause the reverse not to work after running for a minute or two?
You need the testing transmission dipstick, it is a tool by Mopar to check the transmission fluid. I show you how to use it in this video ruclips.net/video/ZHbuEu6GLkc/видео.html You have low transmission fluid, (P0868) You need to fill the system and retest. I am glad you enjoy the videos, please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the reply, subscribed to your channel. I bought the transmission dipstick and have enough fluid in there according to the diagram. It whines when it starts. Will reverse for a min or so and then won’t until the car is restarted. I’m going to change the filter next weekend but was wondering if this part “Trans Pressure Transducer Sensor - Mopar (5078708AC)” could be the culprit? I’m stumped at this point.
All of the sensors that deal with your vehicle shifting are located on the solenoid pack. Are you getting any transmission codes?
Thanks for this video! I have a 14 Grand Caravan. It goes into park, reverse and 1st gear. Unknown service history. Would you think a new solenoid would allow the transmission to shift into the other gears?
Yes it definitely would! But check if you have any transmission codes 1st
That was a great video to watch and now I’m glad to say I’m a new subscriber keep up the good work
Thank you Paul! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and welcome to the channel!
2016 R/T Caravan no codes showing runs fines other than a slight rough idle in park and drive and it surges during acceleration revs up to 2k rpm and back to 1k/1.5k rpm and runs fine after that

Sounds good, let me know how it goes
muy bueno el video pero no dijiste cuantos litros de aceite lleva y que tenes que hacer un aprendisaje rapido al cuerpo de solenoies
Eso serían 5,2 litros y no, no tienes que hacer un proceso de reaprendizaje. Debe asegurarse de que el líquido esté en el nivel correcto utilizando la varilla medidora de prueba de transmisión. Entonces te sugiero que cambies de marcha antes de salir en un vehículo en el que acabas de reemplazar la transmisión. ¡Gracias por mirar!
I'm under a different profile but I'm the one with the 2013 t&c. I took the pan off and drained the fluid. All I see are shavings in there that turn to mush when you try to pick them up with a paper towel. Is that normal with 166000 miles on it? I also had it flushed a few years ago but I don't know what all they did to it.
Yes, that is normal in a transmission pan. Shavings and slivers are normal it is when you see metal chunks that is a very bad. Remember in your transmission it has metal on metal contact with the gears turning. Your transmission fluid, lubricates and disperses heat placed by said friction of the metal. Make sure to change your transmission filter, and fresh fluid to keep your transmission running for years to come.
I have trans fluid coming out of the overflow valve (everyone calls it something different) on top of the transmission which makes me believe I have too much pressure or a temperature problem to make the fluid boil out. Any idea? So far, I have about 20 different ideas which could become a real financial problem. Mine is a 2014 town and country 3.6 62te
What transmission trouble code are you getting?
Also found out that they did two recalls. Some cover for the steering wheel wiring, and a software update. Whoop, whoop 🙌. She drives like a brand new vehicle. The shifts I noticed are a lot different, almost like they’re closer together. That was part of the software update. I’m so scared to drive it 😟 and it break down 😂. The 3.6 is a great engine. I drive it real easy, if only I did the pan and filter instead of a fluid exchange at the quickly lube. I probably could have gotten more out of it. But a snow plow did hit my vehicle in the front drivers side all the way down to the rear. He was backing up and smoked my parked vehicle with his blade. I drove it home, but never went over 50. Then I noticed I had this problem with the transmission. Not sure if it’s related, but I noticed the limp mode the next day. Body shop picked it up with a tow truck. Got it back and they said no visible damage to the transmission, not part of the accident. Took it to the dealership as mentioned to get a diagnosis. And this is where we are at. Pan and filter changed, full fluid flush. Codes p1745 and p0868 along with my oil codes. Pan/filter and flush didn’t fix the issue. Fluid was a little burnt and no debris found in the pan 😮💨. But as you know, the pack, valve, and range sensor had to be replaced…accident related??? I couldn’t ask the dealership because I picked up my vehicle after hours and it was just a secretary.
If the oil is burnt then the valve body and solenoid pack were seeing increased heat due to fluid being dirty.

@@Sellthoseflippingcars 2011 , stuck in first gear, happend today. Getting p1745 and po868 codes. Haven't tore onto it yet ,its the neighbors and I'm just trying to get info! What do you think?. Thanks in advance!
@@stevehamman4465 0868 is your pressure sensor malfunctioning. Yet 1745 is transmission fluid pressure is running too high. This makes me think 2 things 1) when did you change the transmission filter and fluid last? 2) what level is the trans fluid at?
Does the van need to be level? I can’t stop the trickle out the back of the port to get a good seal with rtv
Yes, the van needs to be on a level surface
My 2013 t&c just stranded me. It starts and runs good but it won't go anywhere. Feels like it is in neutral when i put it into drive. Will this most likely fix that problem? And if so, where is the video description at so i can see all the parts that i need? Im not too technologically advanced lol. I just want to get everything that i need. Oh and thank you for this video! You make it seem pretty simple and without this video i would never know how to do this lol. And i don't have a transmission code checker and i havent had it read either. This is our only vehicle and if this will fix it id rather do that than trade it in. Ill have it paid off in august lol
I actually just figured out where the video description was lol. I feel dumb now lol
lol far from brother, dumb people dont try to save themselves money and this is one repair that will save you a BUNDLE of cash! Let me know if you have any questions about the repair and I will help accordingly. Thank you for watching!
Thank you. I didn't expect you to respond so quickly. So thank you for that as well. Do you think this is probably the problem with it? I checked the fluid and it was normal color but had a burnt smell to it
I have Fiat Freemont 3.6 2014 year which is Dodge Journey and have weard issue with it. The car, after warming up and driving for about 15-20 minutes, 80-100 km / h when braking to 0 before a crossroads or lights, sometimes starts to jerk as if it did not disengage the gear, the engine shakes, it pulls the gear even though I am braking. If it is dragged on the brake to 0, it will go off, or if the brake is released, sometimes it will manage to give up a gear and will not go off.
It never happens in the city itself when driving up to 60-70 km / h, only on the road and only when I’m braking to 0. No code. I could add that few months ago I had change fluid (the mechanic said that he poured the appropriate fluid designated for these cars). I’ve read on one forum that changing 62TE TCC Solenoid could fix the problem, do You have this kind of situation earlier with any Chrysler/Dodge?
Yes it could be the TCC or a stuck caliper on your brakes causing the intense shaking
The whole assembly you first removed is called a connector, not a clip. Also the light gray part is a mate assist lever. You press the latch to move the mate assist lever. The reason for the lever is because the force to simply push on the electrical connector is too high because of all the terminals, so the mate assist lever has a cam that makes the mate and unmate force easier.
Awesome thank you Anthony for the info! Thanks for watching!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars You're welcome! Thank you for the video!

Wonderful tutorial!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video and found it beneficial
Thanks for the video I just got a new transmission six months ago and it feels like you’re skipping. Should I change the oil and filter
Yes check the color of the fluid. That will tell you a lot about why the transmission is skipping. If it is dark change it and the filter
@@Sellthoseflippingcars thanks
You're most welcome!
Hey thanks alot I mean use this as a reference on my
I am happy to hear that brother! The Dodge Caravan even though it is a great vehicle, it had some problems with it but hey......what doesnt? Am I right? Thanks for watching brother!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars yes sir I appreciate those videos thank you
I thought the engine coolant reservoir is on the left side. the window wiper fluid was near the transmission.
You are correct John
Next thing I need done is the oil cooler filter housing. They want $1300!!! I’m gonna take it to a regular garage where they charge less per hour. If only I had the tools and time to do it. But for the transmission, I wanted professionals dealing with it that know these vehicles inside and out. I don’t mind paying to have it done right and under warranty.
Understandable, still a high price though lol
We got a Town and Country. It will drive but once you start it, when you put it in gear it does this. What could be the issue?
Check your transmission oil level, it could be that your fluid is low. If you have never changed your transmission fluid then you are looking at doing a transmission fluid change at least.
Real good. Thanks!!!

What’s up man, great vid. Did U use silicone for the pan or get a gasket?
Hey Mike! Thank you for watching I am glad that you found the video beneficial to your transmission valve body replacement. I used silicone for my transmission pan reinstall.
I have a 2013 caravan and its slipping in between 4n5 and 5n6 would this solve problem I replaced filter and fluid. no change
Check to see if you are getting any transmission codes
Hello, my Journey 2014 3.6 went into emergency mode and made a cavitation noise in the Valve Body, I replaced the Filter and the oil because it was clogged and after I replaced the oil and the filter the Code P083B appears, already I reset the code with a scanner but the code comes back, I've already checked all the electrical harnesses, everything is ok, and no noise appears. Could it be the valve body? Or the Pressure Sensor?
The pressure sensor is going to be located on the valve body and will be cheaper to just replace the valve body since it includes the sensor as well. Make sure to check your orings when reassembling, you have a pressure problem, even the smallest oring can make a difference when it comes to having the correct pressure for your transmission. Thank you for watching!
Bro I got the 3 hoses in but the valve body I’m having a hard time putting it back all the way
You have to do it be feel brother, the tubes are bent, So do a hook with them when reinstalling, when you hook it into the hole they go into, you will feel the holes they are supposed to sit in. After you push them in, give them a little bit more of a push and you will feel them, almost click but they will fit snugly into their resting spot. After you get them installed, then reinstall the tubes onto the back of the valve body, this should make it easier. Hope this helps brother
@@Sellthoseflippingcars the tubes are not my issue anymore it was the bottom pin
pretty new at this but financially need to be able to do more repairs or know what I need when taking for repairs.My Journey with 62te will not shift out of first, drives, high rpm but not shifting.

Thank you
You have two separate issues, P0300 and P0301 are misfires, when is the last time you have done a tune up to the engine? P0740 is your torque converter clutch solenoid malfunctioning and will need replaced. make sure to install a new transmission filter as well while you have the transmission pan off.

Thanks for the video. I just replaced the valve body/solenoid pack in my 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan. Everything seemed to go well, and there are no error codes, but now the Caravan won't shift out of park. What is the likely problem?
Low transmission fluid. Do you have a transmission dipstick?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thanks for the quick reply. (I apologize for the delay in responding as I couldn't find the RUclips video that I had asked the question in.)
I do have an aftermarket dipstick to check the fluid with, and the level is just fine. I realize now that I should have been more specific. The gear shifter would not move at all. After I asked the question, I pushed the release just above the gear shifter, and the knob would then move, although it was hard to do so. According to the indicator on the dash, I was able to get it to move from park to reverse to neutral, and then back to park. However, when the gear shifter was all the way at the bottom where drive should be, the indicator on the dash said that the transmission was in neutral.
It seems that that the gear shifter and the transmission range sensor are no longer in sync, but I'm not sure what to do from here. I have taken the valve body cover back off to check the position of the transmission range sensor, and I believe that it is in the correct position (it's in the slot farthest to the right, which I'm pretty sure was the position it was originally in). I did not move the cable on top of the transmission, so I don't think that's the problem. Any help would very much be appreciated.
I had that problem before, the valve body and shift cable are out of sync. Did you put lever on bottom of valve body on the same notch i did?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I was thinking that must be the case. The lever at the bottom of my valve body is in the same position as it is at 13:17 in your video (all the way at the bottom or farthest back position), but I see that you placed the lever in a slightly different position at 24:08 (it appears to be up one notch from the bottom). Is that my problem? If so, do I need to take the valve body back out and reinstall it, or can I re-position it without taking it out again?
The lever has to be taken off and repositioned. Make sure not to move shift cable
Love it , great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Jimmy!
How did you figure out that it was that solenoid ? I replaced the shift solenoid pack on mine and now it just don't want to shift right like it'll go high rpm and barely go anywhere. Should I replace the valve body as well ?
did you refill the transmission fluid to the correct level? What transmission codes are you getting?
My 2013 caravan tries to kick into passing gear when at only 2500rpm while still in low gear. You have to speed up very slowly not to have passing gear engage. Is there any reason for this?
Check to see if you have any transmission codes. If not unhook both sides of battery for 30 minutes so you can reset the TCM.
Is there a preformed gasket to purchase or did you use some sort of RTV to seal the valve body cover?
The transmission filter with gasket is listed in the video description
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thank you for your response. I know the transmission pan has it where the filter goes below. I was referring to the valve body cover in the video. I can't find any information on a gasket for that and wondered if the Permatex A/T gasket maker was appropriate to use there.
Yes, permatex/rtv silicone will work fine there. I used gray myself but blue works too. Thank you for watching!
My 2016 Dodge journey is reading P0750 what does this mean thank you
Check your transmission fluid level and color first. The code means your reverse solenoid circuit is low. Worst case scenario you need a new valve body. But start with the fluid and color first.
Hi I have a 2013 G Caravan 3.6 liter. And when I drive the van, the trasmition slept on 2g and then comes back normal. Can your tutorial fin my problem? And ir yes what's the name for the part
when is the last time you serviced your transmission? the parts for this repair can be found in the video description with a link to the part as well
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Yes sr I will and will share your video on music Chanel and Facebook :) Amd the thing is that I both the van 2 days ago. Can I do a flash on the transmission oil and filter first? To chale levels?
to check the transmission fluid levels properly on this vehicle you would need to have the transmission fluid dipstick which is linked in the video description if you do not have one. Make sure you are in park or neutral and the transmission needs to be at operating temperature. You did the service 2 days ago?
Thank you for sharing my video as well!!!!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars No, sir. I have not done any service to the vehicle. I have purchased the vehicle two days ago.
Oh ok, did you purchase it from a dealership? Because I would have them correct the problem to save you money. If not then it is time to check the color of the transmission fluid. It should be cherry red but in this case I believe yours is going to be pretty dark. That means the filter is stopped up and the fluid itself has no circulation so it is burning.
I have a 2017 dodge grand caravan I backed up it shifted hard into reverse trans began to shift hard into gears made it home luckily no codes. Let it cool down started it and got codes p083b and p0841 van doesn't want to move. Outside temp 29° buddy's scanner said trans temp was 44.67° it whines in park and netural. Transfuid is darker than it should be, appears 2 be on the fuller side but that's with marking out the oil dipstick hack. And engine warm but can't drive to heat up fluid with friction. What would you try?
Sounds like that solenoid is cooked, the fluid being dark only means the filter is even darker. The tiny screens in the solenoid freeze up when sediment is in the system. Time for a flush or replacement...veering more towards replacement time.
Are you referring to change solenoid pack or transmission itself? Thanks
@@tomley643 I am speaking about the solenoid pack
Thanks so much for making this very informative video. I own a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport 3.8L V6 Front wheel drive. I went out to my van on Tuesday morning I cranked it up and I noticed I was feeling vibrations as I was sitting in the driver seat I let it run for about 5 minutes. When I put it in reverse and pressed on the gas the van cut out. I cranked it back up and put it in Drive and it cut out again. So I had my uncle come over and he hooked up a computer to my van and it said I had a misfire on 5. So I went to auto zone purchased new wires and spark plugs had those installed by my dad and that still didn't fix the problem. So my uncle came back drove my van forcefully. When he came back with the van it smelled like burning rubber. He put it back on the computer now it gave him codes for the transmission. Do you think that changing the part on my van that you changed in the video would help my van? Thank you.
What it sounds like is that you are having pressure problems. I have the same problem on a 2003 Dodge Caravan that I have right now and will be doing the repair on it soon as well. This is a common problem with MOPAR vehicles. This video would help you, although your transmission valve body is different than the one shown in the video. Same idea, just different valve body. I will be taking mine apart tomorrow if you would like, I can record it and have it online in 2 days. Would this help you?? Thank you for watching as well!!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Omgoodness! Thank you so much for responding to my comment. I really appreciate you! And yes please I would love it if you'd make a video when you do the work on your van. Again thanks so much! I'll be looking forward to watching your videos.

Are there any noises or codes? You should be receiving a transmission code because it sounds like a solenoid just failed, if you are getting no noises.

@@zuberalisyed9786 the 62TE transmission is not the best that MOPAR came out with.
Update: got it all replaced and it's still not moving. Still seems like the transmission is stuck in neutral. I don't know why. Could it be the TCM?
Did you use your transmission dipstick to check your fluid level? The 62TE is a very sensitive transmission and needs the proper level of fluid. Also remember to cycle thru the gears after you fill the transmission fluid. Thank you for watching!
Ya I have the fluid level at the correct amount and I cycle thru the gears but the transmission isn't actually shifting through them for me. I didn't know if there would be away to reset all the TCM or cars computer to have it realize there is a new valve body in there

I got P084B and out can is in limp mode, which would be better to replace, the valve body or solenoid pack?
With that transmission code you are needing to replace your TCC Solenoid which is attached to your solenoid pack. It is cheaper to purchase the solenoid pack as a whole. I found mine on Etsy and it was remanufactured. Let me know if you need the company's link I order mine from, it will save you a few hundred dollars.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I’m getting the solenoid pack today, the tcc is the one that has the fragile clip? If so, the solenoid pack doesn’t have the tcc..
Awesome video. What was the purpose for replacing solenoid pack? I have a code that came up last week P0841. Does replacing this pack resolve the issue. My transmission has been engaging but it’s kind of delayed. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video! With that code you are having a problem with your pressure sensor circuit. The solenoid pack holds that pressure sensor. When is the last time you have serviced your transmission? While you are in there I would replace the transmission filter and new transmission fluid as well.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I just purchased the van through an auction. I drove it back and the transmission seems to shift a little weird at low speeds. But on the highway, it drive fine. If I was to replace the solenoid, will it solve the problem?

Do you have to replace the valve body gasket or can you reuse the same one when doing this project
Yes, remember the gaskets that are in there are probably the originals from the factory. Thank you for watching

What transmission trouble codes are you getting? Yes it could be the valve body. Thank you for watching!
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I brought it to the dealership and they told me the internal need repair and that the PCM is not responding also I might need a torque converter but I change the transmission filter and fluid and Thier was no pieces of metal so that why I have been watching your videos to learn what I can do
how did you know it was the valve body that went bad and not the solenoid pack?
I did the valve body as well due to it being cheaper than just the solenoid block by itself
@@Sellthoseflippingcarsisn't the solinoid pack part of Valve body tho ....so valvebody & solinoid pack

Hello! i have the same transmission on my 2013 dodge avenger sxt 2.4l 6 speed i have a problem with it while driving when i drive 30 miles and start braking and the transmission shifts shifts from 3rd gear to 2nd gear and at this point when it shifts at 20 miles i hear a thump Even when the car is stationary, it works, I try to switch gears from P-R-D, I hear kicking, and when I checked, the engine moves as if all the supports are broken, although the supports are in normal condition
Sounds like you have an internal gear issue with your transmission. Are you getting any transmission codes from a code reader? Make sure the code reader can read transmission codes or you wont be able to see them.
thanks boy
Your Welcome Vincent! Thanks for watching!!
Any suggestions on what to look for in scan data or even on a scope to catch the issue? I have a customer (2012 tc) that's says it feels like it's sputtering in 2nd up hills, very intermittent....i haven't confirmed the complaint yet (car Will be dropped off Sunday for a diagnosis) but the way she describes it, sounds like she's describing a misfire....however the side pan is leaking so she may be right. I'll have to interrogate her more thoroughly and have her drive the car with me in it.
Is she getting any engine trouble light on? I always like to think of vehicles as a puzzle and a good puzzle leaves bread crumbs. If it is a transmission issue you will be getting a trouble code but your code reader must be able to read transmission codes. Start with the codes and go from there.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars I always do a full scan report pre and post service on all my vehicles so maybe there's something, I have 4 scan tools ( verus, autel 906bt, smartdiag, and can use factory through my cardaq3+ j-box). Just wondering if there is anything in particular I should be looking at. And like I said, how she described it sounded more like a miss than a trans problem. I'm a mobile diagnostic tech but admittedly my weak point is transmission diagnostics.
Oops! I ment thinkdiag not smartdiag lol
If it is the transmission you will be getting a low pressure transmission code. If you are experiencing a misfire then you will be experiencing that in every gear not just 2nd. If is sputtering you might want to look at your fuel system. There are a few things it could be but the best thing would be to look at the vehicle and diagnose from there.
Well, trans is low at cold point and still waiting for it to reach temp to read the operating temp point...bored waiting for this to reach temp do I'll replying now 😆
i also found the battery is bad...I'm not surprised...this customer has multiple cars that I've been servicing (from a now out of business shop) and they ALL have had bad battery or terminal ends!! Not kidding..ALL!! I know Chrysler likes to do load shedding and can cause all sorts of issues with drivability so after getting the right amount of fluid in it I'll have to sell her a battery before I can move forward. I Should just tell her to get a new battery installed in anything I haven't serviced for her yet before bringing it to me 😆.
I have a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan same transmission I took it to the mechanic he changed the transmission solenoid afterwards the car was not driving100% percent every time I was stopping at the red light I felt that the transmission was jumping. Driving the car for about 2 weeks it stopped shifting. The car was on, was running the shift was on D yet the car wouldn't drive I was blocking the road for about 40 minutes and all of a sudden it started driving again. I took the car to the same mechanic he's telling me because there are no check engine lights on he thinks is a transmission which will cost me $2,000 plus labor. The car drives but I don't know when I'm going to get stranded again. Do you think could be something else more simpler rather than changing the whole transmission? My gut feeling is telling me that the mechanic didn't know what he was doing .
That is quite a predicament you have yourself in there. This video will fix that problem without switching the entire transmission. The part does cost in between 200 and $300. But replacing it as long as you follow this video will be very simple. Don't forget to get your ATF which is your automatic transmission fluid as well. What is happening with your vehicle is the hydraulic pressures are not getting where they need to be. The 62 t e transmission that can be found in the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country is a very sensitive transmission. What happens is, if you do not change the transmission filter at the set manufacturer recommended maintenance interval then debris can fill the filter. After the debris from the transmission pan feels the filter it goes through the rest of the system blocking the ports of the hydraulic fluid. Once the system has cooled and has settled down again the debris that was blocking that poor will then free up. This will match your situation of blocking the road for 40 minutes then it suddenly started driving again. The transmission valve body is your problem not the transmission itself. Also a great way to tell is to drop the transmission pan. If you see any parts of the transmission as in transmission metal chunks sitting in the fluid then your transmission is bad. If there are no metal chunks then it is the valve body.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars thank you for your reply I will follow your steps and change the transmission oil and transmission filter. I have a question do you think the local auto parts sell the O-rings? Looks like I'm going to need 6. I don't know what the previous mechanic did I want to make sure I do everything right this time
Sounds great and yes the local parts store will have those O-rings period if not try to find a hydraulic hose shop in your local area. They will definitely have the O-ring. You are most welcome for the reply as well please let me know if you have any additional questions.
@@yougovirtualnow3439 my friend what code are you getting? Is it TCM code? Is your car going on limp mode? I can help Just need a little more Info, replacing the selenoid pack wont fix the problem if it is an electrical issue, very common problem with this vehicles, replacing the filter and fluid is great maintenance but will not fix the problem. The 62 TE suffers from great communication Electrical problems from TCM to TIPM that affects the voltage getting to the selenoid pack. Do not pay thousands for things that do not need replacement. O rings at the dealer we charge $4 an original , filter get OEM , WiX is good but not a perfect fit. Most places charge around $1200 for a selenoid pack replacement no way. And if you come to the dealers we'll suggest a new transmission. $3000 +.
Yes Andreti it could be an electrical issue, but why should he look for an electrical issue if he has burnt transmission fluid. That would be a clear indication of a clogged filter. But you are right, more info is needed for a proper diagnosis.
I have 2011 dodge caravan an had transmissions slipping I bought a remanufactured shift solenoid installed it an back to acting up again was I suppose to what you pointed out @ minute 16:00 let me know please. Thanks
you purchased the shift solenoid pack only? did you clean the valve body while you had it out?
Only purchased shift solenoid didn’t clean valve body to be honest
How did the repair go? How is the vehicle running?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars took it to the shop an was slapped with 3600$ in repairs, now running like a baby!
the best thing to do is reuse the trans oil if it’s never been drained or got some miles on it look it up

I have a 2014 grand caravan, I have the code P1745 and P0868. After I cleaned the codes, just the P1745 camed back. I already replaced the kickdown solenoid and the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, but the problem was not solved. The car stay in the 3rd gear. I can reverse too. Please help me!
This is the reason I replaced the the valve body which includes all attached solenoids. The P1745 code is line pressure too high, this means you have an obstruction in your lines. This usually happens because the transmission filter is clogged and has let some debris thru, into your lines, causing the clog. It is time to flush your transmission valve body, I walked thru this process in the video when covering the small filter screens on the back of the valve body.

I tested pin 12 line solenoid with positive lead on 10 it was 5.5 ohms all other pins checked out within spec. But it stays in the same gear won't shift to other gears for highway speeds. Replaced filter and fluid as well.?
Shift solenoid is on its way out, reverse is the 1st one to always go out 1st
I may of missed it, but what are all the o-ring sizes?
The O-rings I used were in a universal o-ring kit, I can link the kit to you if you like.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars holy crap that was a quick reply! Yes please and thank you!
@@AJ-bf6dp Always trying to help you get back on the road quicker without breaking the bank, even on my birthday. Heres the link you requested amzn.to/3r26XXB Let me know if I can be of any further assistance
@@Sellthoseflippingcars happy happy happy birthday! And thank you again.
Thank you 😊 and you are most welcome! Make sure u subscribe for more DIY Auto and thank you for watching
Is it necessary for the rooster tail comb be in the correct position for gears to shift correctly . I got in 6 valley
Yes, the groove needs to be in the set position. If you don't then your shifting will be incorrect
also alot of metal on the magnet in pan
Yes that is a good give away. Great tip Russell!
I have a Dodge Caravan 2012 I change the transmission but when they get the spray way for 45 minutes no stopping 60 mile four hour does transmission start kicking I need to know if it’s a sensor or the transmission
Do you have any transmission codes? (You need to make sure the code reader you are using can read transmission codes)
Could this fix my issues? My van keeps kicking me out of 6th gear back into neutral when going hwy speeds and redlines. Do not want to have to drop 3500+ for rebuild or new trans if I don't need to. Van is at 140K. mine is a 2011 Crew. Thanks.
I would love to say yes but to be for sure, it is time to drop your transmission fluid pan. If there are any metal chunks in there then you have a mechanical problem. If there is only metal glitter then you are okay (mechanically), you have a pressure problem. Which the pressure problem would be solved by this video, also have you received any transmission codes? Dont forget to subscribe, I always love helping my subscribers :)
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Yes just from AutoZone. Codes P0729 Gear Ratio Error in 6th, P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold, P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit- Bank 1 Sensor 1, C121C Torque request Signal Denied.
When is the last time you changed the engine oil? transmission oil and filter?
I actually did fluid and filter change right after watching this video and it's still doing the same thing. I have been able to bypass 6th gear by just driving it in manual and never driving it over 5th gear. If I do drive it as normal around 5th/6th gear it kicks out of gear rpms read line and I can not excelerate I have to just take foot off gas and wait for rpms to come back down and it kicks/jurks back into gear or have to stop and kill engine and start again if it doesn't kick back into gear. I have been driving it in manual mode long enough at my check engine light has turned off. I'm thinking it's a computer issue since I have been able to bypass it acting up.
I also had cam position sensor replaced when I had transmission fluid change. As far as I know the fluid that was changed was normal no large cuncks of metal in the fluid. Thank you for your help and previous responses.
I have a 2013 doge grand caravan thats stuck in limp mode. And its throwing a P0760 code overdrive solenoid contol circuit. Do you know which soliend this is or which one i have to change? The vehicle has 88,000 miles on it
That would be shift solenoid c. But at the time of doing this repair I found that the entire solenoid block with valve body was cheaper than an individual solenoid.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars thank you I will try to buy it that way
I have the part linked in the video description

I wander why all Caravans transmission solenoid are gone in every junkyards where I live.
It is one of the largest selling minivans in production. Awesome for sales bad for parts
I don't have any transmission codes coming up on a 2011 T@C...... it "occasionally" acts as tho it does not want to shift from 3 to 4..... is that the pack?
Yes that is the TCC on the fritz. Its cheaper just to replace valve body and pack at same time. Since TCC is apart of pack
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Could it just be the "selenoid pack"?
Yes it could
@@Sellthoseflippingcars so then it is hard to tell, so I guess it would be better to go ahead and replace the valve body and the TCC while I'm there just in case........
Would a P0868 on a 2013 Caravan be fixed by this, or could it be one of the wires/plugs that go into the transmission?
Yes this would correct the p0868 diagnostic code on the 2013 Dodge Caravan. With this diagnostic code being brought up due to low line pressure. The three lines that are in the back of the valve body. The 3 metal lines that I show in the video make sure you replace the O-rings that are on those tubes.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars thanks!
You are most welcome
I got the same problem
Had the pan and filter done along with the solenoid pack at the dealership. $2200
That is definitely a costly repair
Thank u

I have a code p1745 on a 2013 grand caravan and thought to change out the Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid. I did have the code for P0868 as well. But I cleared that and hasnt come back since. Right now its stuck in Limp mode. Not sure what to fix now since watching this video.
P1745 on your 2013 Grand Caravan means that the transmission pressure has been too high for too long. The pressure control solenoid you are speaking of replacing will be on the valve body as shown in the video. Depending on the price of a solenoid you are trying to replace, sometimes it will be cheaper just to replace the valve body.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Its $200 something on RockAuto. And the whole Valve body (complete) is $700. But If that doesn't fix my problem then I have to take it apart again. I've been having problems with the tranny all year. Just don't drive it much. It slips sometimes. Sometimes it would shift hard. I replaced the tranny fluid when i did the coolant lines. My question is do you think I should just replace the whole Valve body or just do the pressure control solenoid?
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Also do I need to program this once done? It is in Limp mode now.
www.etsy.com/au/listing/783939277/62te-6-speed-transmission-valve-body that is the valve body that I order for my 62TE transmission valve body replacement. I have ordered a few from them and they are remanufactured units but come with a warranty and save you a bundle
@@Sellthoseflippingcars Thank you for the fast responses. I want to get the whole thing with everything on it. The one on RockAuto has the pressure control solenoid and the tcc.
Where are you located I need mine done get at me please
I am in Hampton Roads Virginia
Do you need to program the tcm if it has one after this job?
No, the transmission will do a self-learn process. Remember though when you are refilling the transmission fluid to cycle through the gears when you get to the correct fluid level. You will feel the gears getting smoother and smoother each time you cycle through the gears. I do it 4 to 5 times to cycle all the fluid through.
@@Sellthoseflippingcars thank you so much thanks for the video
You are most welcome Kevin! Thank you for watching!
My transmission is making a whinnying sound, what's going on 🙏
Check your transmission fluid on level and color. Remember to have it in park or neutral and at operating temp when testing.
