Anyone know of a good place to get a replacement? I wouldn't want something too deep, just stock depth or close to it.
I have a stock 46re tranny pan I'll be willing to sell. $30 + $10 shipping.

Thanks. I'm gonna take the pan off and see how bad she is, I'd have to have a replacement today if it goes that way.

Welp much to Z's disliking we were able to fix the pan! There were some high/low spots which is why it wasn't sealing. The corner with the split was fixed, there is a little notch on the corner's of the pan and when I bottomed out it simply made it bigger.

She's holding fluid perfectly. Filled her up with Valvoline Full Synthetic ATF+4.
