Deep PTS trans pan...

[Scott89TTA]

Is anybody running the deep PTS aluminum pan on the TTA. Today is the last day for the special and I want to order a pan from Bruce. Not sure if I should go with the deep or shallow pan...certainly don't want to hit the pan that's for sure. I'm leaning towards the shallow pan but not 100% yet, if the deep pan (4 7/8") will work the added fluid would be nice. The shallow pan is 2 3/4" deep.

I have the Art Carr deep pan - no scraping so far. It doesn't hang any lower than the stock downpipe bends / cat.

You can run the 700r4 bottom sucking filter like the PTS unit, plus its cheaper.

Thanks for the info but too late...just got off the phone with Bruce. For $270 shipped with gasket, S/S hardware, and PTS bottom feeding filter that is a pretty good deal as far as I'm conserned plus I don't mind supporting the board vendors as well Bruce suggested I go with the shallow pan.

So how much more does the shallow pan hold then a stocker....

Not sure...the biggest thing for me is the the pick-up design, aluminum cools down quicker, drain plug and some added fluid if so. The stock pan/filter pick-up is a poor design, when under exceleration loss of fluid becomes a major problem and this is supposed to fix that according to Bruce.

this is from the PTS website

I've got the deep PTS pan on mine. Have not had any trouble just watch out for speed bumps. If you never plan on getting a BAT brake for Bruce the shallow is all you will need.

+1 you will be happy with both but you will need a deep pan with the bat brake if you ever install one.

I have a deep one on the TTA with the brake as well.. When you look from the side it is scary... looks really low. You just have to be careful, I havent hit anything yet (well sort of) but not bad.

It is what is needed with the electric transbrake.

 

[Scott89TTA]

the trans I have to go in the car over the winter (see sig.) has a Stage Rite manual brake installed...I'm assuming it will be ok since it currently has a stock pan on it...is this correct?

Yes...Only the electronic BAT brake needs the deeper pan.
