Nope I've seen pictures of them on but I don't have one. I kind of wish I had gotten one though. I may end up adding it later on. Where is the best place to get it?

Are you sure you have it turned the correct way and that you got the correct one for your tranny?

I've heard that they are not a bolt on deal. You have to do some fab work to make it fit.
Supply bolts, make up a filter stud mount, etc. You also have to grind on the pan and dremel
trim some tin baffles on the valve body to get pan on. That is why I didn't go with a Mopar
pan, and got one from PML instead. Perfect fit.

Didn't DJ Gaston get one on his tranny from APS back several years ago? His was a 46RE I think. If I get a deep pan which one should I go with?

Ive got the Mopar deep trans pan. 2min of grinding andinstall the suppliedsump extension and it fit just fine. It is deeper and holds 2quarts more than the stock did.

If I get a pan do you know which one I want? What did you have to grind? Did it come with a drain plug or do you have to add that?
