    • 1993-2002 Jeep Wrangler with 4.0 (may have clearance issues with stock exhaust and the frame crossmember)

    Dodge and Jeep uses both Chrysler and Aisan Warner transmissions and route the exhaust in a variety of ways. Check your stock pan against the PML pan to verify that the shape of the pan perimeter and the bolt pattern are the same as the PML pan.

    This pan can also fit the 30RH transmission, also called the A904. Dodge introduced this transmission in the 1960s and it is found in light duty applications.

    This pan may also fit 31RH and 32RH transmissions.

    1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0

    As part of a project to breath new life into this 1999 WJ, this PML transmission pan and front and rear PML differential covers were installed. The transmission pan was a simple bolt on replacement. For the rear cover, the sway bar needed a spacer to increase clearance. See PML Dana 35 cover part number 5062 and for the front PML Dana 25, 27, 30 differential cover part number 5058.

    1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV 4.0L

    The customer installed this PML transmission pan on his 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV 4.0L. However the exhaust did not fit with the new larger pan, so he had to modify the exhaust to fit the new pan. Steps he took to modify the exhast were: 1. Cut the 2-1/2inch pipe, had to move forward about 3 inch, had about 6 to 8 inch of straight pipe be for the CAT and cut it in the middle of this. 2. Cut the 2inch pipe at the first bend coming down from the header. 3. Took about 1-1/2 off the 2inch pipe that was just cut. 4. Cut the 2inch pipe off at the reducer and used that as new elbow. 5. Then added about 1inch of 2inch pipe to both sides of this elbow. Pictures of modified exahust below.

    George Goss installed this PML transmission pan on his 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L ZJ. He had no interference or clearance issues. This is the picture he emailed us and what George said in his email:

    "I have to say that the PML transmission pan is a beautifully engineered & manufactuired product and I find it great for my Jeep. Not just because I like the added fluid capacity & drain plug (and commensurate reduced transmission operating temperature with easier maintenence), but also importantly because of the stiffness it remains planar when installed and prevents fluid leaking that the flimsy stock pan has a problem with. I hope you will share my feedback with other potential PML customers since I am happy with this harware addition to my vehicle."

    Filter and Gasket

    PML designed this pan to work with the stock filter and gasket.

    The filter bolts on to the valve body. There is no extension needed. The filter pick up and fluid level are at the same location with the PML pan as with the stock pan.

    PML recommends a gasket made of cork, rubber/cork, or similar flexible material.

    Bolts and Drain

    PML includes a magnetic drain plug and new mounting bolts with each pan.

    The drain hole is on the driver side of the pan.

    stock bolt
    Bolt Note: Vince with a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee emailed us to let us know that the pan fit fine but a couple of the bolts we supply are too long for some of the holes on his Jeep. Some through holes hit the tail housing before they compress the gasket enough to prevent leaks. He added a couple washers to get the bolts to pull the cover up.

    A stock bolt is pictured. PML's bolts are longer to accomodate the thick flange.

    Baffles

     Inside of PML pan. Click on image to view larger.

    The pan has cast-in baffles to reduce sloshing.

    Baffles also act as a heat sink to reduce fluid temperatures.

    Optional Temperature Sending Unit Machining

    Optionally, PML can drill and tap a 1/8 NPT hole for a temperature sending unit. This would be for an aftermarket temperature gage. There is a custom machining charge.

    There is a boss (thick area) on both the driver side of the pan for this for this purpose. Select the option before adding pan to cart. A plug for the hole is included.

    The standard size is 1/8 NPT. Check your aftermarket gage to verify the thread specifications for the sending unit before ordering. Call or email if you need a different size.
