Transmission Pan

[ffej]

My tranny pan is getting pretty flimsy and rusty so I'm looking to replace it. What are the benifits of an extra capacity one..Is their any pro's or cons to aluminum or steel..and application..will any chrysler 727 pan work or does it have to be amc??? And why do I have this headache? :D :D

Did some looking up on that for ya, seems that with the extra capacity pans there is less chance of fluid aeration which makes the tranny fluid foam up. As far as al vs steel, I would go with steel per more sturdier then aluminum, but steel is heavier than aluminum but a gwag is heavy anyways. hope that helps ya......no can u do me a favor and explain what I just wrote to me :eek: :confused: :rolleyes: tongue.gif :D

AMC dosen't make transmissions, so your any tranny in jeeps is the 727 or th400, or whatever; so just get the pan for your chrysler tranny and you'll be fine.
I had a deep-pan cast aluminum one on my last TH400 rig. I loved it. It has a drain plug, and it's way sturdier than those flimsy chrome steel ones. Made by B&M, and cost about $125.

After re-reading your last post, I fear that you're confusing engine oil pans with transmission pans. These are two very different things. It sounds like the ebay one is an oil pan, not a tranny pan.

Dumb me :eek: :rolleyes: ...your right...looks good though :D :D :D

alum. pans break easy on big rocks where steel pans absorb(Dent)alittle before they puncture.

It's nice and shiny :D :D I have one of these (just the steel one they sell - Mopar Performance IIRC, NOT chrome - chrome will insulate and retain heat in the fluid) on my rig and another sitting in it's original box in the basement. They are deep, light and some with the filter extension, a comp gasket and a drain plug.

For the $45-48 it cost, it's well worth it. Getting to the back bolts is a PITA (not much room between pan and cross-member), but if you change to synth fluid at the same time, you shouldn't ahve to yank the pan for a LOT of miles after installing it.

Oh yeah, yes, it is a std Mopar 727 pan.

You guys Rock!

This is what I am using on my 88

P3690730
A-727-1966 and later non- chrome
46.95

Comes with new filter, and has drain plug built into it.
It is a little tough to get a couple of the front bolts but not
really bad. It is steel so if it hits a rock it will bend rather than
split open like the aluminum ones.

got it from http://www.mopartsracing.com/parts/trans.html
