Default Can U put baffils in a stock 4l60 pan

I have a curve close to my house going one direction it dipps down and to the right. It seems that it slings trans oil away from the pickup and causes the trans to slip. Opposit direction has no problem. Makes me wonder if this is also happening on the autocross course to some. I dont have a lot of clearance for a deep pan. Any ideas?

If you place the filter into the pan, you will see there isn't a lot of room left for anything.
The truck pan holds an extra quart and sits about 1/2" lower.

Overfilling by 1/2 quart might solve your problem. People have the same problem on the drag strip and the extra 1/2 quart often helps a lot.

Truck pan plus truck filter is the way to go. '02 Silverado
pan has a drain plug, for an added bonus.
