Some 2007 and newer vehicles have 6 speed transmissions. See PML 6L80 or 6L90 transmission pans for those applications.

Note to H3, Colorado 4WD, Canyon 4WD: Some 4WD Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon as well as the Hummer H3 and H3T models have the 4L60E transmission. The front drive shaft on these vehicles is too close to the side of the transmission pan to allow the larger PML transmission pan to be installed.

Do not use this pan on a 700R4 or 4L60 transmission (vehicles about 1993 and older) due to filter incompatibility.

Stock GM Shallow Pan, Exhaust Under Pan, and Want a Deep Pan?

The following trucks and SUVs came with the stock GM shallow pan and may have an exhaust pipe close enough to the pan to prevent the installation of PML 700R4, 4L60 deep pan, part number 8650-1. This PML pan, part number 9427, can be used for these applications IF you switch to the filter for the GM deep pan.

  • C1500/K1500, 1996 to 1998, 4.3, 5.0, or 5.7 engine
  • Suburban 1500, 1992 to 1999, 5.7 or 6.5 diesel engine
  • Tahoe, 1995 to 1999, 5.7 engine
  • Yukon 1992 to 1999, 5.7 engine

Be very careful if you change to a different stock filter. Future fluid changes and filter replacements must use the correct filter for the PML pan.

Installer must verify pan fitment and filter installation. If the filter does not fit or work correctly, the transmission damage can occur.

See the section on filters in Specifications.

If you have the stock GM shallow pan and do not have the exhaust routed under your stock pan, then see PML 700R4, 4L60 deep pan, part number 8650-1 or PML 700R4, 4L60 stock capacity pan, part number 9297.

This PML pan fits GM 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, and 4L75E transmissions.

PML designed this pan as a heavy duty, extra capacity replacement for the GM and Chevy trucks and SUVs, 1999 and newer.

The step at the back of the PML pan matches the step at the rear of the stock pan to clear the exhaust pipe or frame cross member.

The drain hole is on the driver/left side.

Optionally, this pan can be machined for a temperature sending unit. The locations are on the side of the pan.

If you would like PML to drill and tap hole, the machining charge is  per hole. A plug for the hole is included.

The standard size is 1/8 NPT. Call or email if you need a different size.

Gasket

PML recommends a cork or cork composite gasket for use with our GM 700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L75E transmission pans. Any brand of cork/cork composite gasket is good. Here is an example of one from Mahle, available at RockAuto.com. The Mahle part number is W39365.

Shift Cable Mounting Bracket

If you have a bracket that attaches to the stock pan, check carefully before ordering.

You may have to modify the cable mounting bracket to use this pan. Some brackets will not work at all with this pan because of the thicker walls and flange.

Here is an article from Vette magazine about modifying a bracket on a 700 4R.
