Review on Dorman 265-818 Transmission Oil Pan: Ideal Fit for Specific Models by Andrew Roll

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits exactly like OEM

The look, feel and weight of my 2007 Wrangler are VERY close to OEM. I used a Felpro pad with lots of Permatex High Tack but the pan is solid, no leaks, the drain plug works great. 1 important point posted here as a reminder. When installing this pan. REMOVE THE DAMN MAGNET FROM THE OLD PALLET AND INSERT IT INTO THIS. I don't and the pan is so strong I really don't want to take it off. I'm going to call Dorman this week and see if they have a drain plug for this pan that is magnetic and/or get a drain plug and find one elsewhere that is magnetic. If successful, I will publish again. UPDATE 12/20/20. ok, my dumas recovered from letting the magnet out of the pan. I found a very strong magnetic drain plug on the Revain that fits PERFECTLY in this sump. 14x1.5x13MM Outlaw Racing OR2620 Magnetic Fork. Works perfectly. The problem is solved. I also put a very strong neodymium magnet on the bottom of the pot and that works great too.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
