904 tranny pan question

i just installed this pan: Summit Racing SME-1010R Summit Racing™ Aluminum Transmission Pans | Summit Racing

it's beefy. considerably heavier and stiffer than a stock pan. the fit was reasonable, not perfect but no real heavy adjustments or fighting. the 12 point hardware is nice, but the base of the cap heads don't really index super neatly into the counter bore holes. the billet spacer is whatever, it's a spacer, it does spacer things, and that hardware was fine, the filter looked like just a parts store filter. the drain plug is decent and sits flush so you won't snag it on anything.

the gasket came folded up like a newspaper and was straight trash, i went with this reusable one from lube locker: LubeLocker LLT-A999 LubeLocker Transmission Pan Gaskets | Summit Racing the stock mopar one, moroso and this one are all about the same price and probably made by the same company.

anyway, dude's driven it and thrashed if for a few weeks now and hasn't reported any leaks.

if you were looking to do it bucks down, a steel 999 pan from the junkyard (or off amazon) and that gasket plus the spacer and you'd be cooking. or summit sells it in all one go, just tack on the gasket and you'd be in for like a hundo.

Yes! I second this.
The added capacity and that drain bolt on the bottom are great bonuses as well.
I used the steel one mentioned in the quote for my A999 tranny.
