Includes transmission pan, magnetic drain plug, bolts, and fill plug.
Volume: stock capacity compared to 3.3" deep stock pan
Dimensions: are in this pdf file. The 6L90 transmission pan is similar in shape but is longer at 18 1/2 inches. This pan is about 5/8" deeper than the 3.3" stock pan.
Number of Bolts: 18 (there are 20 holes, 2 holes locate the gasket and 18 holes for bolts to hold the pan to the transmission case)
PML design this transmission pan for 2006 and newer Cadillac, Camaro, Corvette, and Chevrolet and GM trucks and SUVs. There is a fill hole and plug for vehicles with the fill in the pan, such as some Camaros.
This pan features:
- Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction
- Finned to dissipate heat from transmission fluid
- Drain hole and magnetic drain plug for easier maintenance
- Fill hole and plug for filling the transmission from the pan
- Thick walls to add strength to the transmission housing
- Thick gasket flange, machined flat for a leak free seal
- Maintains ground clearance, only 5/8 inch deeper than stock
If the exhaust crosses underneath the stock pan, you may need to drop or lower the exhaust to install this pan. Three bolts are difficult to access and there is not any space to manuever the thicker PML pan on to the transmission housing.
This pan will fit the GM 6L80, 6L80E transmission. This pan fits configurations of these GM and Chevy vehicles with the 6L80, 6L80E:
- Cadillac STS 2008 to 2009, V6 3.6L or V8 4.4L or V8 4.6L
- Cadillac XLR 2008 to 2009, V8 4.4L or V8 4.6L
- Cadillac CTS 2006 to 2008, V8 6.0L
- Camaro 2010 to 2015, V8 6.2L
- Corvette 2006 to 2014
- Hummer H2 2008 to 2009, V8 6.2L, with undercarriage protection
- Trucks and SUVs needing more ground clearance than with the PML deep pan (such as those that are lowered or have skid plates)
Configuration vary. Always check your vehicle to verify transmission and clearance. Some vehicles may have a 4 or 8 speed transmission. The similar 6L90 transmission is also an option on some models.
PML also makes an extra capacity transmission pan for the 6L80, 6L80E. It is PML part number 11025.
Pontiac G8 also has a 6L80 transmission but it uses a specific G8 pan and filter. PML does not make a replacement pan for G8s.

Filter and Gasket Information
Image shows the inside of the pan and the flange mating surface. Click on image to view larger.
No filter supports or extensions are needed since this pan is the same internal depth as the 3.3" deep stock pan. On the outside, this pan is larger than the stock pan.
Check your stock pan size. We based our design on a stock pan with 3.3" depth. The Pontiac G8 stock pan may be 2 1/4" deep. If so, this pan probably will not work.
The stock GM filter is "GM Part No. 24236517" and the AC Delco box has part number "24236933".

The 6L80E transmission comes from the factory with a reusable gasket. In this image of the transmission, you can see the reusable gasket and filter. Click on image to view larger.
PML designed this pan to accommodate the reusable factory gasket. Please make sure the gasket is clean and free of any holes or nicks to avoid leaks.
Optional Machining For Temperature Sending Unit
Optionally, this pan can be machined for a temperature sending unit.
If you would like PML to drill and tap hole, the machining charge is per hole. A plug for the hole is included.
The standard size is 1/8 NPT. Call or email if you need a different size.
Drain Plug and Bolts
This pan includes a magnetic drain plug and mounting bolts.
The drain is on the driver's side.
