Installations

2020 F-250 7.3 Gas 4WD

Steve installed this PML transmission pan on his 2020 Ford Super Duty with a 10R140 transmission. Steve said it was a tight fit and getting the PML pan installed required some gently prying and pushing.

Notes from his installation:

It was tight fitting between the catalytic converters and the stock pan was tight coming out. The tabs on the front of the pan is where the interference was at. I used a soft mallet and light prying to work it past the cats. I didn't have to do anything extreme, I just worked it a little at a time and took my time. I had nothing to attach to those tabs so they weren't needed. So I didn't have to loosen or drop the exhaust. If you were to drop the trans cooler that's in front of the pan it may help but you may have to drain the cooling system to do so. In total I had 5 hours in draining and removing the original pan, replacing the filter and installing the new pan and filling. I was able to reinstall the heat shields after doing the final fluid check also.

So far everything is good, there are no leaks and I have to drive it quite a ways to get the fluid to 195 degrees. I will recheck the fluid level when I can get it above 200 degrees. I like your fluid check hole makes it a lot easier.
