2007-2022 Ford 6R80/6R100 Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan

I bought two transmission pan and install both of them for my family. One for my brother 2007 Suburban( I started on the 3/8/2026 and finished it on the 3/11/2026) and one for my mother 2011 Expedition EL Limited( I started on the 3/18/ 2026 and finished it on the 3/19/2026). When it comes to a job like this, I do not rush it. I let it drain overnight so all the old transmission fluid is out. I finished it up the next day. I am very happy that I bought these transmission pans. I have one more to buy, and I do a review for that one later when I buy it. Thank you PPE

It is great but what it lacked was a stack tube similar to the ones for supporting the filter but with a hole through it from top to bottom with a small plug at the bottom. That way you could remove the plug and allow what little oil is trapped in the stack tube drain out then when you add oil you will know when it is full. It would also be great to have a new replacement filter to take advantage of the deeper sump! It does not matter if the sump holds 50 gallons of extra oil if you still run out when your 2 quarts low. With some 4X4 trucks working at steep angles, having a sump that holds extra quarts is good but one with extra quarts and a lower pick-up point that takes full advantage of the deeper sump would be much better.

GREAT PRODUCT. COLD READING CHANGES, BUT HOT READING IS WHAT YOU WANT ANYWAY.

Great product! I lucked out with this vehicle combination and have upgraded to the deep dish finned pan with 11/16 inch hex neodymium pan drain plug. My truck has the 19mm sealing plug with the stubby PEEK dipstick, have a very large capacity drain pan beneath it when you unscrew the plug. I used a manual siphon pump to pump all I could get out, then removed every other pan bolt and then tilted the front down to drain as much as possible before removing the rest of the bolts. The tan ribbed seal on the filter will be left in the valve body, as the FT-188 MC filter has no bolt attachment and pretty much falls out on its own. You’ll need a hooked o-ring pick to carefully remove the old seal. Remove the old pan and pull both magnets off, and carefully clean and inspect the reusable gasket seal and magnets. Place the disk magnets on the long supports of the PPE pan. Yes, the new pan has a drain plug with a built in neodymium magnet, but more magnets can catch more metallic debris. The new pan uses a SST washer and SHCS with a 5mm hex wrench needed. A socket attachment with 5mm hex works great, but you will need to cut a 5mm hex wrench down to about 1 inch to tighten 2 of the SHCS under trans cooler lines. Carefully place the new MC FT-188 filter with its seal in the proper bore - the same bore you fished the old seal from. The filter is held in proper position by the pan internal supports, but you must handle the pan carefully or you will knock the filter out of place when trying to get gasket, pan, and filter properly in place. Multiple times before you get it right. Once there (2nd set of hands useful) install the SHCS with single SST washer and hand tighten, then cross-tighten to +/-80 inch pounds, ensuring you get every one. Filled with fresh Mercon LV ATF (full synthetic) - ending up at the bottom of the upper hot “B” zone with dots (not the lower cold hashed “A” zone). I used a Harbor Freight manual transfer pump to pump the clean ATF fluid in. Once you get enough ATF in where it registers on the dipstick in the A or cold fill zone, you’ll need to start the engine, and, with brake applied, cycle thru each gear 5 seconds each at least twice, and then leave the truck running. For the next part - topping off at cold/warm “A” zone - advice is strongly to wear mechanics gloves to prevent exhaust burns on your hands when you check/fill/check/fill. Keep doing this until you get to top of cold/warm A zone. Button up the dipstick/plug and remove the gear underneath the truck, take it for a short 15 min errand, come back and finish up with check/fill in lower part of dotted hot check zone B with engine still on. Make sure and button up the dipstick/plug with the truck engine still running or you could get ATF coming out the fill hole as some ATF flows back to the pan when you shut the engine off. Clean the outside of the pan off with brake cleaner (avoid breathing as much as possible). I put the PPE sticker under the hood with the part number and 19mm and 5mm needed. Total ATF used to refill my truck 6R80 six speed to proper hot “B” (lower end) was 15.75 qts

I looked at trans code on info by door post so I got the right parts. I like the cover thick die cast heavy duty. Extra oil , Ford had a life time gasket, so I reused it. It came with longer bolts and washers, I wish they were hex head.

The deep transmission pan from PPE arrived super fast and I was able to get it installed in about 3 hours taking my time. I did use a suction pump to get as much of the old transmission fluid out. I would have liked to see regular hex head bolts as the allen head bolts provided are easy to strip out when torqung them down. All in I really like PPE products I also have a super 8.8 differtial cover on my 2015 Platinum F150 you cant go wrong with PPE products I will be ordering a diff cover and transmission pan for my 2016 F150
