Transmission Pans

Transmission Pans: More Fluid, More Cooling, Easier Service

The pan bolts to the bottom of your automatic transmission and holds the fluid that keeps the whole box alive. Upgraded transmission pans do three jobs at once: they add fluid capacity so the trans runs cooler under load, they add surface area and often cooling fins to shed heat, and many add a drain plug and magnets so servicing fluid stops being a mess. If you tow, haul, or run a built diesel, the extra capacity and cooling is exactly what keeps temps in check when a stock pan runs marginal.

What We Stock

There are 24 transmission pans in stock here, spanning 7 brands: aFe (8), BD Diesel (7), Mishimoto (4), Banks Power (2), and one each from Moroso, Skyjacker, and HKS. Current prices run from $205 to $1,008 for what is in stock right now, not a locked-in promise. Twenty of the 24 carry fitment data, with a year range of 1989 through 2024. Coverage leans heavily to diesel and truck applications: Ford Trucks, Dodge Trucks, Chevrolet Duramax, Ram Cummins, Jeep Wrangler, and even the Nissan GT-R.

Concrete examples: the BD Diesel AISIN AS69RC Deep Sump Pan for 13-24 Dodge/RAM and the BD Diesel Deep Sump Pan for 1989-2010 Ford E4OD/4R100/5R110 both target diesel service capacity. The Mishimoto 6R140 Cast Pan and the aFe Black Pan for 03-10 Ford 6.0/6.4L Diesel cover Powerstroke trucks, while the aFe Black Machined Pan for 09-14 Ford 6R80 F-150 fits the half-ton crowd. At the top of the range sits the HKS Nissan GT-R Transmission Oil Pan Upgrade.

How To Choose

Start with your transmission code, not just the year and model - a pan built for a Ford 6R80 will not bolt to a 6R140. From there the trade-offs are simple. A deep-sump pan adds the most fluid and cooling but drops ground clearance, which matters on a lifted or off-road truck. A stock-depth upgrade with fins and a drain plug keeps clearance but adds less capacity. Cast pans like the Mishimoto add mass and rigidity; machined and finned aluminum pans focus on heat shedding. Diesel guys towing heavy usually want the deepest pan their clearance allows; a street truck or the GT-R is a different calculus. Match the pan to how you actually use the vehicle.

What Else You Need

Plan on fresh fluid and, in most cases, a new filter or pickup extension when you go deep-sump. If the trans work has you under the truck, it is worth checking neighboring parts in the Drivetrain section: Differential Covers do the same capacity-and-cooling job for the axle, and Differential Components, Clutch Components, and Flywheels round out a full driveline refresh.

Fitment And Ordering
