Default Aftermarket trans pan

I'm going to be replacing shift solenoids and am going to go ahead and add an aftermarket pan with a drain plug and more fluid capacity. What have you guys used and is there a sponsor here that sells them? Plus is there a sponsor that sells the shift solenoids?

Thanks...

Come on; no one has installed an aftermarket pan on this site??

I've seen a TCI and B&M offered on a couple different site's; anyone have a preference?

Truck pan here as well it came with my FLT trans. It hold and extra quart and doesnt' hang down as low as the cast pans with all the fins. There is no drain on it and I really would not want one. I feel much better dropping the pan as you can see of there are any unexpected pieces laying in the bottom.

I was looking at the tci pan for my 95lt1 because it doesn't seem to require a filter extension or a special filter, and has a temp sender bung and drain plug. anybody use378014

Installed the TCI cast pan today & had to modify the inside with a die-grinder & burr to remove material for the OE filter clearance.
I wouldn't do it all over, I'd look the GM truck pan.

If you ever lower your car a deep pan will be your worst nightmare, just go with a stock depth pan with a plug and a BIGG trans cooler.. and remeber a 700R4 pan is the same as the 4L60E Google it.
