PML Ford 10R80 Stock Capacity Transmission Pan

Description

Volume: stock capacity

Dimensions: PML pan is about 5/8 inch deeper than stock due to thick walls and fins. Click here for dimensions.

Number of Bolts: 18 bolts hold the pan on the transmission case

PML designed this a stock capacity transmission pan for Ford 10R80 transmissions to maintain clearance. For example, cars such as Mustang and trucks with skidplates cannot use a deep sump transmission pan.

Benefits of PML 10R80 stock capacity transmission pan:

Drain and magnetic drain plug for easier fluid changes
Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction (not plastic)
Finned on the whole bottom (no logo) to increase surface area for heat dissipation
Thick walls and gasket flange
PML pan fits without modification to cooling tubes or exhaust
Includes custom PML cork type gasket

Always check your vehicle to verify transmission and clearances.

Installations

2022 Mustang

Dean installed this pan on his 2022 Mustang. For installation, he temporarily moved the bracket mounted to the rear two studs. First he disconnected the driver side oxygen sensor. After removing the two stud nuts, the bracket and other wiring can be swung over to the passenger side out of the way. He needed about 6 quarts of fluid. The PML pan fit with no clearance issues or interference with heat shielding, tubes and bracket.

Installation Notes

Access to the stock pan may be difficult. On some vehicles, cooling tubes, exhaust pipes, frame cross members and skid plates must be removed or loosened and lowered. Video of an installation of PML deep pan: https://youtu.be/llKEEhhZ1tg
Thin, metal heat shielding around the edges of the stock pan may need to be trimmed or removed to fit on the PML pan.
Flange does not have holes on the side for blanket that wraps around transmission (blanket may only be on 2017 models).
PML pan may not work with factory skid plates without spacers.

This PML pan ships with a custom PML cork type gasket and a magnetic drain plug and installation instructions. To purchase extra gaskets, see PML Gasket for PML Ford 10R80 Transmission Pans. PML recommends a cork type gasket with our transmission pans but the OEM gasket may also be used.

Reference the Ford procedures for filling and checking fluid level.

Stock Pan, Transmission, Filter and Dipstick

PML designed our transmission pan to work with the stock transmission, filter, gasket, dipstick and level check/fill procedure. PML allowed for the cooling lines, plates, exhaust and frame near the pan.

On some vehicles, there is heat shielding insulation around the stock pan and undercarriage protection. There are also cooling tubes and exhaust pipes that must be moved to access the stock pan.

Ford and GM jointly developed a 10 speed transmission. Both Ford and GM will be using this transmission beginning with 2017 models. Ford calls it a 10R80 and GM calls it a 10L80. The pans are not the same.

Ford and GM are also planning beefier 10 speed transmissions, the Ford 10R140 and the GM 10L90.
