FCA 62TE missing caged needle bearing

The complaint

When the Low Clutch Housing is removed from the Underdrive Center Shaft of a 62TE transmission, one notices that the caged needle bearing located on the shaft between the sealing rings was missing (Figure 1, above).

The cause

A running change was made in 2010 where this caged needle bearing was eliminated. When going to Chrysler’s dealer connect to order one, it states that this bearing is no longer required due to a design change of the transfer gear bearing (see Figure 7). The original tapered transfer gear bearing may have “CHINA 04800389AB” printed on it. The redesigned bearing will now have “Timken NP44 2849” printed on it.

The correction

The caged needle bearing has been eliminated and is no longer serviceable.

Service information

Two bearings are required: Timken Bearing part number 68158163AA.

Special note

After careful examination, ATSG does not see any significant changes made to the new tapered bearing other than it being a vendor change. As a result, it is our opinion that it is not necessary to use the caged needle bearing regardless of the tapered bearing being used.

Tuning a vehicle to optimize its performance is nothing new. This customized process is used to provide fuel efficiency and improve other driveability concerns. Tuning for torque is especially desirable by diesel owners.Those who are proficient at tuning know that the transmission will need serious upgrades to survive the increased force it will receive from the crank, through the converter and to its internal components. Those who are tuning amateurs blow out their transmissions by ignoring the physical path torque travels to get to the ground.

While no longer the dominant market force they were in the past, there are still enough manual transmissions out there on the road to make up a decent amount of work for transmission shops in certain specialized segments; and still, of course, the need for parts for, and the ability to work on, those manuals.
