Always check your vehicle to verify transmission and clearance. This PML pan fits the Turbo 400 transmission. It is larger than stock so make sure to check for clearance for a larger pan.
If your stock pan has a dipstick receiver on the side of the pan, a PML Turbo 400 pan is not compatible with your vehicle.

Inside
This PML pan features an open interior to clear the valve body. The hole for the drain is visible at the bottom of the image.
Filter, Gasket
This pan is designed to work with the stock filter and gasket. A cork, cork composite, paper or felt type gasket work best with a PML pan.
This pan works with the stock shallow pan filter tube, bolt and sleeve.
The early valve body uses a side mount filter. This PML pan is not designed to work with the side mount filter. Some customers have made it work by with modifications to the pan, valve body and filter. One customer drilled a hole in the valve body to hold the "new style" filter in place on his old valve body. He had switched to this new style filter before getting the PML pan. He found the old style filter to be a "bad design" since it kept sucking air.
