trans pans

[kc8oye]

anyone use a cast-aluminum pan on a TH350?

 

I have a TH-350*C* (lockup converter) and I've done everything I can short of using a whole tube of RTV to make the pan seal against the case, (teh pan was badly warped when I got the trans and rebuilt it) so I'm thinkin about going to a cast aluminum pan to help with the leaking, also gain some fluid capacity, and extra cooling (deeper pan also gives me room to add a trans temp sensor)

I have a Hughes cast alum extra capicity on the elkie th350 - no leaks. I have a Trans D cast alum extra capicity on the monte th350 and no leaks. Both have fins and drain plugs. Both of which were a must for me personally.

i put a drain plug in my stamped pan.. it was well worth the effort

 

I just want no leaks!!!! I'm tired of leaks!! My monte Leaks EVERYTHING!!!

 

TRans fluid, engine oil, brake fluid (I think I stopped this one)

it used to leak coolant till I replaced the heater core..

 

I think the diff fluid doesn't leak.. it never seems to be low when I check it.

 

oh yeah.. it leaks gas too.
