PML knows of successful installations of our transmission pan on these Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles but configurations vary and you should always check your vehicle before ordering:
Please check your truck or SUV to verify the transmission pan shape and look for clearance.
This transmission has 13 bolts holding the pan onto the valve body.
The 42RE transmission, which also is found on Jeep and Dodge trucks/SUVs, has 14 bolts and is PML part number 9862.
The Dodge 5-45RFE transmission is found on Liberty and Wrangler with diesel engines and that pan has 15 bolts and is PML part number 10304.
Drain and Temperature Sensor Bosses
This pan has a boss on the front side of the pan near the drain hole that can be machined for a temperature sending unit.
The drain hole is on the passenger side of the front and the boss is on the driver's side of the front.
The boss on the bottom of the pan is an alternative drain hole location.
On some Jeep Rubicons (probably 2003 to 2006 models), the drain is close to the cross member or support bar so check clearance carefully and note that draining fluid will require some care.
Filter Info
The interior of the pan has a filter support. Use a stock filter with this pan. No filter extension is needed.
Dipstick
Some vehicles use a special dipstick that hits the bottom of the pan to check the transmission fluid.
PML updated this pan to include a ledge for the dipstick (November 2013).
This ledge is at the same location as the bottom of the stock pan.
