RE: Dual Clutch in 2010
From what I understand they will also offer a 7-speed unit. One is rumored to be named the 79REM. In Chrysler coding that means it will have 7 gear ratios as the first number represents the number of gear ratios (hench why the 48RE has four ratios, why the 68RFE has six ratios), the second number represents the strength level (hence the reason why they changed from the 47RE to the 48RE with the increasing strength from the diesel models in the Ram). The R in REM is the stands for Rear-wheel drive (as the reason why when they adapted the 42LE for RWD uses they changed the name for that version to the 42RLE). The E is for electronic as the name changed on the 46RH to the 46RE when it was given electronic applications. I believe the M stands for machincal to represent the dual clutch.
The one they were talking about was most likely the 62TEM which will only be FWD at this point. It is a transverse set up hence the T letter. Might need a further adjustment for RWD application, plus it probably wouldn't be able to handle the level of tq that the Hemis produce, but thanks for finding it Paladin.
