REPEATED COMPOUNDER SET FAILURE
COMPLAINT: A 62TE transmission comes into the shop with no reverse along with a variety of flared shift
issues going forward. The odor and color of the transmission fluid indicates internal
transmission problems are present. Upon disassembly, the compounder assembly is found to
be severely damaged which contributed to the no reverse condition. The damage to the
compounder set was such that the low brake was inoperable and is necessary for reverse to
function. Forward gears can continue to function without the low brake if the overrun (low)
sprag is still functional. Flared shifts was attributed to excessive widening of the direct clutch
ring grooves on the low brake drum. The pilot on the end of the underdrive center shaft was
also found to be damaged. With all the damage combined, it required the replacement of a
complete compounder set and output planetary assembly during the rebuild. Three to six
months later the vehicle returned with shifting issues only to find damage to the replacement
compounder set once again.
CAUSE: A ledge in the case where the low brake drum sits up against and the case wall (figure 3) had
developed excessive wear caused by the original compounder failure. This allowed the
replacement compounder set to have excessive movement causing shift issues and damage to
the assembly.
CORRECTION: Replace the case with one that does not have excessive wear along with another good
compounder set. Use figures ?? to ?? to adjust the compounder assembly clearance. Once the
unit and tapered snap ring is installed into the case, there should be no side to side or up and
down movement of the assembly.
Note: If the drum needs to be pulled up to fit the feed tubes into the low brake drum, this is an
indication of excessive case wear.
SERVICE INFORMATION:
Substandard parts is another reason for repeated compounder unit failure. Anthony from All
Transmission World in Orlando Florida discovered that a brand new complete compounder set
(Underdive Assembly) from Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep can be purchased for as low as $250.00 to
$330.00 under part number: RL078815AD.
