auto transmission pans?

Hip · Apr 28, 2009

i have a POS chrome thin stamped metal aftermarket pan that leaks. the darn thing does not even have any oil in it and it still fawkin leaks. big stain under my project

is it worth it to get a good aluminium pan from jeg$ or $ummit or a regular ol stock one from pull a part?

What works and does not leak?

I use a stock pan and glue that sucker on.

I ended up taking my deep pan out and replacing it with the flatest,low profile pan I could find. I did this to lower my rear t-case output,I also picked up the front of the motor 1.5" and skewed the whole drive train in the car(but thats a whole nuther subject:redneck

I guess what I'm saying is look at how your D-train is goin to lay in the car and do what you have to to make it fit.... I would error on the side of better D-line angles if I were you.You don't need a burley pan if it is protected by a stout skidplate.

The only diff I notice in the loss of extra fluid from the deep pan to the shallow is the trans runs a "little" warmer overall but not a big deal(yet)

I bought a deep dish casted aluminum pan from summit, works great.

Cast aluminum cracks. Steel Dents.

If the pan is protected cast alum is good because it lowers the temp a little.

But like jeepmauler said, use what fits your app.

I run B&M aluminum pans on all my stuff. They are the thickest ones I have found. The drain plug is nice too.

If you don't want leaks Alum is the way to go. I have a few 350 pans but I'm in the yakima. Hit the local tranny shop :awesomework:
