In this video we walk through every step to replace the transmission on a 2011-2017 Chrysler Town & Country and 2011-2020 Dodge Caravan. We show how to remove the starter, CV axles, transmission mounts, torque converter, and much more! In addition, we give some tips on how to remove some of the not so easy bolts and nuts and provide every single step via the chapters below. This process is the same for various other Dodge and Chrysler vehicles with the 62TE transmission including the Chrysler 200, Dodge Journey and Avenger.
