Needed for design and development:
- Used transmission, does not need to work
- Pictures of the OEM pan on various trucks, SUVs and cars showing clearances (to the ground, exhaust pipes, frame cross members and such)
- Interest from current and potential customers
The stock OEM pan has two filters integrated into it. PML can only make an aftermarket pan if separate JR913E filters are available. Dorman now makes a filter kit that we are looking at:

Both the OEM stock pan and the Dorman aftermarket pan are plastic.
PML makes sand cast aluminum parts. Benefits of a PML transmission pan would include:
- Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction (not plastic)
- Extra capacity and fins for cooling the transmission fluid
- Drain hole with magnetic drain plug to facilitate fluid changes

US Frontier trucks probably have the 5 speed transmission until 2019 and then the 9 speed in 2020 and newer models. Titan trucks transitioned to the 9 speed around 2021 or 2022.
The Jatco 9 speed might also be known as Mercedes Benz 9G-Tronic or W9A 700. There is some debate on this. There is also a 9 speed transmission pan ZF 9HP, which is intended primarily for passenger cars.

OEM Transmission Pan and Filter
The OEM pan and filter assembly is Nissan part number 31391-X280A. One filter comes out. The other filter does not so is part of the pan.

Hypothetical Question: if both filters were removable, would anyone purchase the OEM pan just to pull out the filters and use them in an aftermarket pan?
