PML designed this transmission pan for Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, Cars, and Trucks with Skid Plates. This heavy duty transmission oil pan fits the Nissan RE5R05A 5 speed transmission.
Benefits:
- Extra capacity
- Clears frame cross members on Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra and similar vehicles
- Ground clearance for most cars, trucks and SUVs, only 1 inch deeper than stock pan
- Skid plate clearance with overall height of 2.8 inches (enough for many skid plates)
- Finned for heat dissipation
- Heavy duty constructions for thick walls and gasket flanges to provide a secure seal
- Drain hole and magnetic drain plug
Depth is about 2.8 inches. Stock pan is about 1.8 inches. Always check your vehicle to verify transmission and clearance as PML does have a restocking fee.
Filter and Gasket Information
The filter on the RE5R05A is a screen, and it bolts on to the valve body of the transmission so no filter supports or extensions are needed.
This transmission pan works with stock gaskets.
These are available from a local Nissan dealer or auto parts store.
