As the first customer for his new transmission pan, Jeff offered to do an install for me, as he wanted to do some capacity measurements.
So on my way south for the Woodburn IFO event, I stopped in at ER and we drained the new fluid out of my trans and did the install.
Fit and finish is excellent on the part, the flange is nice and thick and very flat.
After the install, we put my fluid back in and had to add a full 2 extra quarts of the ol' Hy-Gard.
I was already running the larger 2g style pan on my 1g auto, so for those using the 1g style pan, you will see even more of an improvement in capacity. I'm not logging trans temp so don't have any good data other than a quick glance at my gauge after a run, I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere in the neighborhood of an 18-20 degree drop in temp.
We never used any type of sealant on the included gasket, and after running a bunch of mid-to-low 9 second passes at IFO - not a hint of a leak.
nice part!
