Default Who makes a good pan for the 4L80E?

The one that came on my tranny doesn't have a drain plug, which is going to be a PITA. Who makes a good one to replace it with? Should I go with a high capacity pan?

Jegs has an aluminum deep pan with fins and a plug. I will be ordering one up in the next few weeks.

They have several, which one are you looking at? The TCI aluminum pan?

I used a B&M pan on mine. Adds 3 quarts. Picked it up from Summit for around $160. The Hughes pan is damn near the same

I believe the one I was looking at was a B&M. Try this link. Its the one at the bottom of the page. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=10539
Cablebandit has one waiting to go on his 4l80e. I had a B&M deep pan on my 4l60e and really liked it. It dropped the tranny temps about 20 degrees.

Good deal, thanks guys. On the site is says something about a replacement filter for deep pans - is that required?

Call them and see if it comes with the filter and extension. If it does'nt you will need them also.

The B&M pan comes with the extension and uses the same filter as the stock pan

Unless you want the cast version for case support or off road protection,
the Derale will give you the additional cooling for a good bit less. $85 too!
