What do you think of this trans pan?



Not worth it, imo. There's a regular (dorman?) one with a plug. O'rielly even carries it, I think.

If you really want to step up the pan, a few members discussed this one. No one has feedback on it ..yet. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threads/103087-new-transmission-pan-from-cartuning

I like the cartuning one, just note a couple things. There's added capacity, but that takes up space. This pan will sit lower, not so good for lowered cars.

The added fluid advantage would best be used with a cooler, adding a further step and expense.

I was going to do all that when I did the Trans-go. Moved, so that took care of that. Maybe when it needs rebuilding.
 
Dont think I'll have problems with it taking a bit more space since my cars not lowered. So would I need to add an extra 3 quarts if I were to get this pan, or would I be fine running the same amount of trans fluid I usually refill (About 9 quarts)?
 
I bought one used, but haven't installed it yet. I got it for a steal, and the drain plug was the only reason I wanted it.

If you get one, you will need to drill and tap the drain plug as they are know to strip very easily.
 


I haven't hit my Cartuning pan on any speed bumps. My car is lowered but not much. About an inch with GMPP Koni kit minus 1/2 inch for drivetrain spacers:

My Scan Gauge died before I installed the Cartuning pan. So, I cannot confirm their cooling effect.

I did get my Scan Gauge repaired and hopefully, the car should be back on the road next month. Will let you know.
 


Cooling is not really the reason for a deeper trans pan. They are used to keep the pump from sucking air.

And, the zzp pan sucks. You have to fix the plug threads.

Plus, it's a good idea to drop the pan anyways to clean the magnet.
 
I bought and installed the dorman pan from Adv Auto with no issues, it's got the drain bolt. Got it for $30 w/ a coup. For the price you pay, it's a huge benefit to be able to do a quick drain n fill.
