5R110W tranny pan updates

[HeavyAssault]

Well I got the parts together for the ’08 tranny pan swap tackling the task this evening. I’m really glad to have found the drained fluid just as clean looking as the new fluid out the bottle. I didn’t find anything in the bottom of the pan that would have caused me great concern. The most shocking part was the plug magnet that has collected 104K miles of fine metal particles. I cleaned the magnet off and installed it on the new ’08 pan. I took the time to replace the smaller in-line by-pass filter in the front of the truck. After a short test ride to confirm no leaks or drivability concerns I’m glad she’s ready for another 100K plus of smooth shifting and hard pulling.

Looks good. Any pictures of the old pan vs. the new pan? What's the difference between the two?

Yea, why did you change to an 08 pan??

The new in-pan filter is a little taller so the pan is a tad deeper. I'd have to see if I got a good comparsion shot of the two pans. To be honest the pan isn't why I did the update, it was so I can run the newer in-pan filter.

pan update

What is the advantage of the new in pan filter?

It's a true filter element versus a screen.
