High Capacity Tranny Pan

[4x4mike]

Does anyone have any experience in aftermarket high capacity aluminum tranny pans? I have a transmission that was replaced a year ago and I am wanting to keep this one a long time. I was looking to replace the fluid and add in some Lucas stuff. I was looking at the TCI, Summit and Jegs pans. I want the one that adds 2 qts. It seems like I am going to have to deal with extensions for the filter for all of them. Any help or guidance would be apprecitaed.

Oh yeah, BTW it is a 1990 auto with a TH700r4

my 700R4 has a deep AL pan, it came on the trans from PATC (the Raptor 700 guys). If you wanted to add some fluid capacity and not deal with the pans co$t etc, you could always add an external filter kit... that'd give ya 1 more quart of fluid and better filtering too. Just a thought.

I have been running the TCI pan with the extra 2 quarts on mine for a few years now, it didnt require anything but bolting it on. No idea how much cooler it got the tranny but its a 700 with 180,000 miles on it

I have been running one on my 700 and it just happens to be for sale. Check out the trans section. I am going to be getting a new one for my new tranny. I will be changing my trans out when i go to the doubler so i wont need the 700 pan.

ditto! i bought the summit one without a logo. it came with the factory extension tube for the filter so a no brainer to install. a bonus to the added cooling of a deeper pan is if you get into extreme angles with the truck there is less chance of the pickup sucking air cause it's under more fluid than the stock one

Add capacity with a external cooler, if you have not already done so.

If you're just looking for capacity... find it in a large auxilary cooler or a remote filter.

A beefy pan is a must. Those cheap ones you buy are for cars and dent easy. I don't like the pan hanging down low because it can get hit easy.
