Hello everyone. I am looking for an 62TE pan with a drain plug. Do they make them with a drain plug? I am not looking for drain plug kit. Also do they make a reusable gasket? Thanks

I've never seen a transmission pan with a drain plug - not from the factory anyway. More than likely you'll have to "make" one.

I would prefer an OEM pan with a drain plug.

As Doug says, there is no such thing as a Chrysler OEM transmission pain with a drain plug.

Dropping the pan is good. You might see something laying at the bottom for an early warning. You should also change the filter at every ATF+ 4 change. Use ATF+4 only.
Depending on what vehicle you have, there may be TCM software updates available to enhance shift quality and transaxle longevity.
Since there is no supplied dipstick, you will want to get one if you don't already have one.
There is no OEM reusable pan gasket and I can't vouch for the available aftermarket ones.

I will have to make one. I am assuming the parts dept doesn't sell an OEM dipstick. Thanks for everyone's help.

Looks like this here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/62TE-Transmission-Custom-Dipstick-Tool-Dodge-Mopar-62te-9336a-/181040417184?hash=item2a26d989a0&item=181040417184&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr .
I have used a length of old speedometer cable before.

You will also need a temperature chart and know the approximate temperature of the transaxle. Here: http://www.denlorstools.com/shop/images/CRY933_Dip_Stick_Instructions.pdf

Re-cork the dipstick tube when finished.
