Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 265-811 Transmission Oil Pan for Select Models - Enhance Engine Optimization by Christopher Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great installation takes effort no proper tool

As I tow regularly the manual says the filter and fluid needs to be changed every 50k hopefully this will make the job a little easier and less messy . Works great, installed yesterday. There are no leaks, the holes are evenly aligned. However, working without lifting is flour. To get it right they want you to loosen the exhaust to allow enough clearance. It also interferes with the shifter. I was able to replace mine without unbolting the exhaust, but it was a lot harder. I ended up removing the shifter from the bracket and bending the bracket to the side. Inserting was much easier than removing. Also, using a non-hardening RTV will help keep the gasket in place.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
