Bushwhacked! Keys to Avoiding Preventable Bushing Problems
Brian Wing
Symptoms:
- Bushing wear
- Bushing failure
- Planetary failure
- Shaft breakage
Cause:
OE bushing material composition allows premature wear; inadequate tolerance control of OD hubs allows vital lube oil to exhaust.Correction:
Restore critical clearances and resist untimely wear by installing improved Sonnax overdrive clutch hub bushing.Warning:
Use of an arbor press is required for correct installation. Do not use a hydraulic press or a bushing drive/hammer combination to install, as doing so may distort the bushing and cause fitment issues.

Overdrive Clutch Hub Bushing
Part No. 92030-06

Overdrive clutch hub bushings in Chrysler 62TE transmissions often leak critical lube oil due to imprecise clearances with the underdrive shaft. This loss of lube oil often leads to planetary damage and shaft breakage. The two-piece OE bushing design allows excess radial movement of the shaft, hastening failure. Installing one-piece Sonnax overdrive clutch hub bushing 92030-06 restores the crucial clearances necessary for reliable performance.
