Trans pan

I have....well, the tranny is in the sig. anyway i have someone willing to sell me a TCI deep pan for it with cooling fins and drain plug. I was told by the tranny shop that the new pan doesn't support the filter and they have had numerous problems with aftermarket pans causing the tranny to burn up.

Can someone explain how the pan has anything to do with the filter, i'm just a little confused. Should i stay away from the pan?

I believe the pan should come with a filter extension, but I'm not sure how its supported in the pan. The only thing that concerns me about those deep pans is that they hang down low enough to get smacked. They become the lowest point under there (next to LTs if they hang down) I was looking at the Derale pan with the cooling tubes because it is supposed to be similar in depth to a stock pan. Others on this board have used the Derale and like it...

well this guy has the TCI for 50 bucks....but no filter extension...do they all come with that?

Summit and Jegs both sell the TCI pan with hardware, gasket and filter extension for like $125...You need the extension. I'm not sure if this is something you can get separately or make yourself, but this is someplace where I wouldn't want to experiment.

ok thanks. I'll see if he has an extension.
