The current-production pan is deeper than the ones that came standard when slant-6 vehicles were being built. Assuming you're building a 904, pan is p/n 52118 779AB, and they even include a spiffy magnet to catch metallic shavings. Also get the really nice double-seal, reusable rigid pan gasket P/N 4295 875AC. |

There are aftermarket pans that are +2 quarts. Check here for both the MP stamped unit and cast ones. Good plus is the drain plug too. I second the nice gasket Dan mentioned. |

looks like the stamp steel one is 1 quart the cast aluminium is 2 quarts or larger..I found a TCI cast aluminum 2 quart unit for $83 delivered..anyone ever had issues with TCI ? also on some jeep 4x4 forums they talk about installing a temp sending unit in the corner of the pan...is that just for 4x4 app. or do Drag racers do that too? |

That is a steal for the TCI pan. Stock stamped ones I've seen give the same extra cap as TCI - 2 qts. Lou |

One of the deep pans I have is a stock pan off an A-500 or some derivative thereof. IIRC, it's a truck pan. |

I'm curious. What problem are you seeking to correct with the increased fluid capacity? |

no problems but I have always like extra capacity in the transmission for racing. heat will kill an auto trans prematurely. on hauling packages on trucks they have a trans cooler and I do have a tow hitch..ha! |

I know about transmission coolers, but that's not what we're talking about. Two quarts more fluid will only slow the increase in fluid temperature slightly which is one reason why I was asking. Deep pans are really of best use when the fluid pickup becomes troublesome on high G launches. |

well I do drag race more then drive on the street. I guess most deep pans were for OD trans/work vehicles/4x4'sI always ran a deeper pan for the strip..probably old sckool peeps influence me. here's some nice pans for various apps. http://www.partshp.com/Pans.htm |

The reason you see jeepers talking about the trans temp gauge install is kinda two fold. First, is the obvious. Slow crawling in 4WD can increase trans temps a bunch. Then there's the problem with the 42RLE in the new Wranglers that Chrysler does NOT want to address. A lot of these new Jeeps have burned. The cause has been narrowed down to trans fluid overheating, boiling out of the dipstick tube onto the exhaust manifold and causing a fire. The resulting fire takes out nearby fuel lines and the rest is history. I had an 08 Wrangler and one of the first things I did was install a hardlined cooler in line with the factory one. If you run an extra capacity pan, I would not think a fluid temp gauge would be necessary, but it couldn't hurt I suppose. |

While you got the pan off,check the line pressure adjustment. See my post on page 2 "shift kit,worth it?" |
