I have a leaking transmission pan gasket and I was wondering if it would be worth it to get a deeper pan. Possibly one with a drain plug. Any suggestions? Also, what kind of ATF should I refill it with?
The drain plug alone is worth it. But make sure you've got enough clearance underneath the car. Mine sits slightly lower than the cats on my x-pipes. As for ATF if you have over 50k miles and have been using regular ATF stick with that. A few mechanics have told me that if you go with synthetic on an old tranny it'll start to slip not to mention any leaks at all that you have will become worse.
I have the B&M pan, nice and deep with a plug. I haven't had any trouble with it dragging. However, my new x-pipe is another story . I'm just gonna switch to 255/45's for some extra ground clearance.
