PML makes three pans for the 4L80E, 4L85E transmission.
This pan is not designed to clear the frame cross member found on some 1997 and newer vehicles. See the PML pan for 4L80, 4L80E 1997 and newer.
PML also makes a 4L80E, 4L85E deep pan.
Note for Hummer H1: This pan can fit on 1993 to 1996 H1 Hummers, but the frame cross member is very close. Check your Hummer to verify the clearance.
Jaguar XJS models with the 4L80 transmission have a stock pan specific to the Jaguar. PML does not make a replacement pan for the Jaguar XJS 4L80 stock pan.
