trail duty trans pan

[MONSTERMATT]

how much extra capicity does this pan hold (atf fluid)?, and what about the diff cover, ?? does anyone have these upgrades installed and do u think they are worth getting?

[DRTYFN]

It looks like it'll hold quite a bit more fluid. Why not call and find out?

[MONSTERMATT]

I WILL , im gonna check and see about the diff cover also, i was asking cuz there is one on ebay that claims 3 or so more quarts capacity, soo i wanna compare

that pan is going to be very close to the exaust crossover pipe(will get hot ). the stock one is a Bit*h to get off and that pan would probabably require the exaust to be removed to service the trans filter. add to that the fact that an aluminum pan can crack on impact and dump the fluid and leave you stranded and it may not be any thing but a pretty face. you can take quite a shot on a steel pan and most times it will just get a dent. I for one a'm not sold on this whole deep aluminum pan at all. you should be fine with the stock pan and an over size trans cooler that bypasses the radiator. most shops tell you, you don't need to change the trans filter and they just flush the fluid. my answer to that is when they take a shower do they they put thier dirty underware back on ? any way I would check the clearance on that pan B4 I tryed to install it . It may very well make the fluid hotter and now you will have 2 quarts more of hot trans fluid . but what the fu*k do I know anyway ?

Anything larger than PML will be too close to exhaust and exposed to gettings damaged. Keep in mind that if you bend UCP it will push against exhaust & then into tranny pan.

IRA51 is correct in that - you will not gain anything. I have the PML and my temps still climb on hot days on highway either going against strong winds or lots of hills/slopes on highway.

Better off upgrading to better tranny cooler and seperating from radiator.

I looked into larger pans in 2005 and with measurements working with Phil I chose not to go with pan.

Will be going to larger cooler or a relocated fan cooled cooler.
