Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) transmission Pans

[Nate]

I was looking at transmission pans and I'm curious.



What makes Mag Hytec better than others?



Double Deep = 4 extra quarts.



Double Deep Mag Hytec is ~$250.



TCI $150

B&M $135

 

[Nate]

I'm probably going to pickup the B&M. I can't see spending almost 2x the money for a Mag Hytec.

Everyone runs a Mag Hytec??

Unless you tow heavy all the time and keep your temps down, I wouldn't even with an after market pan. The transmission runs cooler than a stock trans does as well. My oil is always cool towing or empty. Rarely over 160*.

In lockup I don't normally see over 140*. Out of lockup, like backing up, or driving in town, I've seen it hit 240*

Nate,



That's why we only stock the PML pans and diff covers, their increased fluid volume does the job as far as cooling the fluid as well as the double deep pans that hold 8-10 extra quarts, and they do it for a lots less money too. Plus your average fluid temp is lower as it doesn't take so long to cool all the extra quarts of fluid. Their 2 quart increase does all that is necessary.

I got a PML pan in the mail yesterday. Very nice!



Now the little magnet on the plug is enough of a magnet? I'm asking because the stock donut magnet is huge compared to this little guy. I was thinking of perhaps putting the stock on as well and attaching it with some RTV or JB Weld.
