Anyone who hasn't lowered their car into the weeds and run a Derale tranny pan ? The pan adds about 2 qts and is several inches deeper with the tubes through it.

Are you dragging on speed bumps or anything ? Is the included drain plug magnetic ? Thx

i just installed the deep pan on my tranny. i had the same one before but without the drain plug. it's only about 3.5" in depth. my car is lowered and as long as i take it easy whenever i think i will scrape, i have no problems. pan looks nice and yes the plug is magnetic.

here's a pic i just took...

Just remenber that a Aluminum pan will NOT dent like a Steel pan.
It will only crack when it hits something like a speed bump. If it cracks, there goes a bad fuild leak. So a Aluminum pan and lowering is a bad combination. My opion.

Agreed, aluminum pan and lowered car is asking for it.


That said the Derale pan is not aluminum and my post states stock ride height, thx anyway
