4L80E Deep Pan with drain?

[Daron]

Gonna replace the stock 4L80 pan with a deep pan with a drain. Looking at:

Any better recommendations?

that's the pan i used, you'll have to mod' your linkage bracket, the pan is 3/8ths thick.

Nice.

Why the deep pan though? aren't 80Es sufficiently voluminous? Could you not just tap it for a drain plug and save yourself some wonga?

I'm with mark on this one . Your not going to have the same heat isssues like with the 700. I'm sure its nice to look at but a cooler alone is all you need to keep the 80e's temps down . I picked up a $5 drain plug kit from jegs and called it a day . Better ways to spend on the Syty IMO .

Every transmission with sufficient power ahead of it has problems with heat.
A deep pan and a big cooler would be near the top of my list, regardless of the type of trans.

Not to mention, the deeper pan resists "slosh" on a hard launch.

I dunno if they make one for a 4l80e, but my Summit brand cast pan for the 700 is a nice piece. Thick casting, billet filter extension. Price was reasonable, too.

I'm all for spending on the Ty but all the research I did suggested that the 80E wasn't vulnerable to overheating unless you ran a really high stall - upwards of 4500 up there.

I have a trans cooler and even that sounds like overkill. Still, can't be too safe

Re: 4L80E Deep Pan with drain?

I couldn't agree more with the high power and heat transfer safety concerns . In the 80e's defense , on a dry install it takes 3.5 gallons of fluid . Add the extra capacity from the larger cooler and your pushing roughly 4 gallons .it's going to take some repeated abuse to get all that overheated in a short amount of time .

For the sake of discussion I'm curious how the larger pan prevents slosh . Wouldn't a deeper pan be more succeptable to allow fluid flowing away from the filter on ahard launch ? In stock form the filter is right at the bottom of the pan , do deeper pans come with a filter extension of some sort ? My new build is including 2 coolers and if it is honestly needed I have no problem picking one of these up . Thanks .

except dearle pans the filter sits a normal height and the air tubes run through it. Im not a big fan of the design for anything other than tow rigs
