- ^ = Applied in coast only
In total, the 62TE provides seven forward ratios and one reverse.
The underdrive compounder assembly has two modes of operation: direct and reduction.
Notice in the "What's On When" chart, the 2-3, 3-2, and 4-2 shifts require a "double swap" shift. This occurs when two elements are turned off while two different elements are engaged.
This clutch-to-clutch synchronization takes place within 40 - 70 milliseconds, producing a smooth shift. If the underdrive compounder assembly shifts too early (in relation to the shifts taking place in the main centerline), a shudder or harsh shift results. If the underdrive assembly shifts too late, the driver experiences a "double bump" sensation.
To avoid a double swap shift in a 6-4 downshift, the transaxle shifts into 4th prime, which requires the deactivation of the OD clutch and the simultaneous application of the UD clutch.
Scheme 496
In Reverse, the Reverse Clutch (R) (1) is applied to provide input torque. The reverse clutch drives the front sun gear. The L/R clutch (2) is applied to hold the front carrier/ rear annulus assembly. The rear carrier/front annulus assembly rotates as an output member in reverse with a reduction gear ratio of 2.21:1.
Power from the main centerline transfers to the underdrive compounder annulus by way of the transfer gears and the underdrive shaft. The Low Clutch (LC) (3) is applied to hold the underdrive compounder sun gear. With the sun gear held, the annulus drives the underdrive compounder carrier, and a reduction gear ratio of 1.45:1 is achieved

When diagnosing converter housing fluid leaks, three actions must be taken before repair
- Verify proper transmission fluid level.
- Verify that the leak originates from the converter housing area and is transmission fluid.
- Determine the true source of the leak.
Fluid leakage at or around the torque converter area may originate from an engine oil leak. The area should be examined closely. Factory fill fluid is red and, therefore, can be distinguished from engine oil.
Some suspected converter housing fluid leaks may not be leaks at all. They may only be the result of residual fluid in the converter housing, or excess fluid spilled during factory fill, or fill after repair. Converter housing leaks have several potential sources inspect pump seal (1), pump vent (2), pump bolts (3), pump gasket (4), converter housing (5), converter (6) and a rear main seal leak (7). Through careful observation, a leak source can be identified before removing the transmission for repair.
Pump seal leaks tend to move along the drive hub and onto the rear of the converter. Pump O-ring or pump body leaks follow the same path as a seal leak. Pump attaching bolt leaks are generally deposited on the inside of the converter housing and not on the converter itself. Pump seal or gasket leaks usually travel down the inside of the converter housing.

The 62TE has six accumulators and are all located in the case under the valve body.
The function of an accumulator is to cushion the application of a frictional clutch element. When pressurized fluid is applied to a clutch circuit, the application force is dampened by fluid collecting in the respective accumulator chamber against the piston and spring(s). The intended result is a smooth, firm clutch application.
The underdrive compounder assembly replaces the 41TE transfer shaft. The transaxle case is modified to accommodate the additional components. The main components of the underdrive compounder assembly are the low clutch (LC), direct clutch (DC), overrunning clutch (ORC), simple planetary gear set and bearing retainer transfer/underdrive shaft.

- Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
- Remove the dipstick tube cap. WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. There is a risk of injury from contusions and burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it is started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly fastened and close-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
- Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position "P".
- Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine idling. NOTE: When inserting dipstick special tool (special tool #9336A, Dipstick), excess insertion force may cause the dipstick to slip past the stop on the bracket in the transmission oil pan. An approximate distance that the dipstick should be inserted into the fill tube is 424 mm (16.69 in.).
- Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine running. Push the Oil Dipstick (special tool #9336A, Dipstick) into transmission fill tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if necessary. NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed.
- Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool.
- The transmission Oil Dipstick (special tool #9336A, Dipstick) has indicator marks every 10 mm. Determine the height of the oil level on the dipstick and using the height, the transmission temperature, and the Transmission Fluid Graph, determine if the transmission oil level is correct.
- Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level.
- Once the oil level is correct, install the dipstick tube cap fully to seal out water and dirt.

As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub rotates the inner and outer gears. As the gears rotate, the clearance between the gear teeth increases in the crescent area, and creates a suction at the inlet side of the pump. This suction draws fluid through the pump inlet from the oil pan. As the clearance between the gear teeth in the crescent area decreases, it forces pressurized fluid into the pump outlet and to the valve body.

Autostick allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undersirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance. This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Autostick is a driver interactive transaxle feature that offers manual gear shifting capability. When the shifter is moved into the Autostick position, the transaxle remains in whatever gear it was using before Autostick was activated. Moving the shifter to the left (towards the driver) causes a downshift and moving to the right (towards the passenger) causes an upshift. The instrument cluster will illuminate the selected gear. The vehicle can be launched in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear while in the Autostick mode. The speed control is operable in 3rd and 4th gear Autostick mode. Speed control will be deactivated if the transaxle is shifted to 2nd gear. Shifting into OD position cancels the Autostick mode, and the transaxle resumes the OD shift schedule.

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is a cable and solenoid operated system that prevents the transmission gear shifter from being moved out of PARK without a driver in place.
Refer to the following chart that expected shifter response, depending on ignition key/switch and brake pedal positions. see scheme 498
| 1 - LOCK |
|---|
| 2 - ACC |
| 3 - ON |
| 4 - START |
The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock (BTSI) is engaged whenever the ignition switch is in the LOCK or ACC position. see scheme 499 An additional electrically activated feature will prevent shifting out of the PARK position unless the brake pedal is depressed at least one-half inch. A magnetic holding device integral to the interlock cable is energized when the ignition is in the ON position. When the key is in the ON position and the brake pedal is depressed, the shifter is unlocked and will move into any position. The interlock system also prevents the ignition switch from being turned to the LOCK position, unless the shifter is in the gated PARK position.
The following chart describes the normal operation of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. If the "expected response" differs from the vehicle's response, then system repair and/or adjustment is necessary.
| ACTION | EXPECTED RESPONSE |
|---|---|
| 1. Turn key to the "ACC" position and depress brake pedal. | 1. Shifter CAN be shifted out of park. |
| 2. Turn key to the "ON" position, with foot off of brake pedal. | 2. Shifter CANNOT be shifted out of park. |
| 3. Turn key to the "ON" position and depress the brake pedal. | 3. Shifter CAN be shifted out of park. |
| 4. Leave shifter in any gear and try to return key to the "LOCK" position. | 4. Key cannot be returned to the "LOCK" position. |
| 5. Return shifter to "PARK" and try to remove the key. | 5. Key can be removed (after returning to "LOCK" position). |
| 6. With the key removed, try to shift out of "PARK". | 6. Shifter cannot be shifted out of "PARK". |
| NOTE: Any failure to meet these expected responses requires system adjustment or repair. | |
