A-PremiumTransmission Oil Pan with Gasket & Drain Plug Compatible with Ram 1500 2500 3500 & Jeep Grand Cherokee & Dodge Charger, Challenger, Charger & Chrysler 300, 8-Speed Automatic Transmission

All in all great product. I’m a 30yr diesel tech and don’t stray far from OEM normally, but for the price and reviews I wrote before, I decided to give this pan a chance. Other reviewers are correct, TAKE YOUR TIME, TORQUE the bolts, and clean all surfaces. Then you will be just fine. My Snapon torque wrench only goes down to 6.8Nm, (spec in directions is 4Nm +90 deg) for bolt torque. I did the 6.8 and was not able to quite get 90deg with my little T40 angle wrench, but they’re all the same torque near what they want, most important is the torque sequence so it lays flat. You’re holding fluid in a pan, not holding back thousands of pounds of hydraulic fluid, so common sense here. They’re is no rocket science to the seal, this pan is indistinguishable from the factory, same heat fins, same drain plug, same thickness, filter as part of pan, and also has magnets in the pan (as the factory also does) to catch the clutch plate wear materials. My main recommendation is if you have a grand Cherokee (not sure about RAM, etc) you will absolutely need a very poor access T40 angle wrench to get the 4 bolts closest to the torque converter side of the trans. A 1/4” or 3/8” with any wobbly will not work, period. I tried them all, I have them all. I put a pic of the T40 you want, I’m sure you can find it on Amazon for $10 or less. You can use valvoline ULV fluid, but there’s not much price difference for what people are selling the correct mopar 8/9 spd trans oil for. I picked up 7qts for $99. I have had guys (and myself) try max life and non ULV fluid and completely ruined the transmission in only 11 miles (shifting gets jacked up and smashed wrong gears, plus slipping) and will then cost $6k (for just 11 miles of driving) for a rebuild. So yeah, just run the right fluid for $99 instead of 6 grand for a trans rebuild. I bought 7 qts mopar fluid for my grand Cherokee; but found out the drain/refill (not flushing lines, cooler, TC) you only need 3 qts. Since I have 4 quarts left, I’ll drive it for an oil change 3-5k and I’ll drain and refill one more time with remaining fluid. This will be sufficient for the next 70k and I’ll service pan gasket again at that time. Also there is a small quart hand pump they sell for like $9 and it works perfect to pump the quarts into the fill hole. There is no way (even with valvoline quart bags) you will get it in there, so just buy that slick little hand pump and your job will go great, and will functions perfect and no leaks. You’ll still save yourself like $600 by doing it yourself. Double check the transmission cooler lines running along side the pan also as they’re prone to rub and make a hole in the line, may need to tweak them slightly so they don’t rub (it’s this way on the factory pan also). Take your time, do it RIGHT and you’ll be fine with this pan. Pleasantly surprised how good (identical) it is to factory pan/gasket.

I was a little nervous about buying this pan as it was very reasonably priced compared to other on market. I went ahead with the purchase in hopes it would last a month or two. My intention was to use the pan for a first flush on my 2018 with 135,000 miles on it. Like many, I listened to the dealership telling me it was lifetime transmission fill, a sealed transmission, and would cost &1,200 plus dollars for them to service, etc. thus the 135,000 miles without a flush. This pan fit perfectly, didn’t leak from pan or pan drain bolt, and performed well. My thought on short use was the transmission holds 8.3 quart but replacing the pan only removes 5.3 quarts leaving 3 quarts in the transmission with 135,000 miles on it. I have since replace the pan with a PPE aluminum pan that holds an additional 2 quarts of fluid. For those that are having the same issues that I was experiencing (shifting issues between 1st and 2nd gear on cold first start of day only), the flush made a significant improvement and final change too PPE pan and fluid change restored my trucks performance to the same as when first purchased new). These transmissions never performed perfectly on the first start of the day, are clunky but don't shutter or miss-shift at low speed when cold.This pan is not constructed to the same specifications as the manufacturers so you will need to use the bolt supplied with the pan for attaching (the bolt head is smaller then OEM) the pan seams to be constructed as well as OEM and performed without any issues.

Purchased this for a 2015 Dodge Charger RT. Seems like it fit perfect. Well made and almost exactly like the OEM I would buy for so much more. Came with the filter built in, all of the new screws and short but clear directions for installation. I'm happy with this. I

This fit my 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie perfectly and install went smooth and easy. The best part is it saved me big $$$ over OEM. I am pleased to find a quality part like this and have it land on my doorstep instead of driving to the auto parts store and having them look it up and maybe give me the wrong part. I trust my own research more. Buying this for my transmission service was a no-brainer. I would do it again when needed.

Pan fits like OEM perfectly, following torque specifications. Replacement for 2015 Durango SSV 3.6L 845re with transmission cooler @ 55K. As mentioned by others, expect to only get 3-4 quarts of new Mopar 8&9 Speed ATF 68218925AB back into transmission if you do not flush transmission cooler and lines. Best bet is to run with new fluid after pan replacement then refill at next motor oil change cycle in 3-5K, draining and refilling the transmission fluid again with remaining quarts of transmission fluid. Follow Chrysler instructions on cold fill, cycling transmission gears and keeping temp between 86F-122F, opening fill plug and taking out excess ATF when warmed up. Transmission works like it did new without slight cold start roughness. Recommended product.
