AFE transmission pan

[OnTheReel]

Even at the lowest point of the stock pan there’s over 4” of clearance. So at worst case with the new pan 2.75”. Skid plate would have to get pretty well bent and destroyed to hit the pan. Maybe @FULLTHROTTLERICK would find the limits but I think everyone else would be fine.

If anyone could find the limits it would be him!

I got the SKU's added. With the margin on these things I don't think a group buy is going to be able to be done. This specific SKU we are getting 13% off of MAP which is $382. Which after platform fees leaves us with very little margin to play with.

However AFE lists at MSRP which is a little higher ($401), so if anyone would like to pre-order they are on the site. Apologize if anyone got too excited.

Another option came out from Applied Torque Solutions:

• 2.5qt fluid increase over stock.
• Uses factory gasket & bolts.
• Uses BMW ZF Transmission Filter instead.
  • Supposedly has a better pickup than the ones in the 8HP90/95s.
• Does NOT contain a magnetic drain plug. Uses a standard NPT plug.
  • Relies on the magnets that are built into the filter. All ZF filters, from what I've seen, come with magnets on the exterior of the filter.
• Pricey at $1000+
  • Even accounting for the filter, gasket, and bolts, you're looking at double the cost for a billet part and an extra 0.5qt capacity over the aFe offering.

My built trans likes to buck like a horse when fluid temps are below 60°F. I've been tossing around the idea of installing a transmission pan heater. They require a flat surface to adhere to, so the aFe option looks to be an ideal candidate.

Anybody pull the trigger on the AFE pan??

[Nick797]

I've had like 2 or 3 orders so far.

Current ETA on the 3 are 3/27/26.

@Nick797 do you know if the AFE tranny pan comes with a new gasket and bolts? And if those bolts are longer or stock length?

Doesn't mention it and all of the 8HP70 pans come with a bare ass pan so i'd expect the same here unfortunately lol but when you buy a new filter from mopar they have a service kit which is the gasket, filter and bolts. That's what I did on my hellcat.

Transmission pans are pretty much same, we have metal pans (makes it nice as we can just buy a filter only, comes with gasket too), other models have plastic. A higher capacity trans pan is always a good upgrade imo, only issue might be exhaust/y-pipe and possibly skid plate but I doubt it comes down that far past the frame rails.

@Nick797 any update on ETA of these? Will they be here for Santa to deliver i hope?!

Do you have an order # with us? I don't see one.

I have a lot of orders for these and they all have different ETA's provided by AFE, best general ETA is usually whatever AFE has on their site, but some people ordered 2 weeks ago aren't going to have the same eta as the guys who ordered in jan/feb.

Would be nice if they made it by then, AFE has historically never been good at meeting ETA's, I remember when the TRX first came out it was a nightmare

Haha my theory with the parts thing is most of us order a vehicle when it first comes out all excited and wait a year, a part sometimes can be the same only much smaller and less expensive

...Or you could be like me... Have a lot of stuff that needs to be installed but no time to install. I was shocked at myself that I got the tail lights installed.

I have my priority list....then the "boss" revises it...and here we are. I need to send them on vacation by themselves, so I can get things done... but then I am reminded....that they need me to carry their luggage.

So My 21 is currently at AFE for measurements for the trans pan. They had a prototype a couple weeks ago and it was a fail. After the measurements I'm guessing more CAD work then casting. So I dont have a time line, but I know they are working on it.
