🔥 B&M 70260 Cast Deep Pan: Superior Performance and Durability Review

Perfect fit on Chevy Suburban '07 with a slight bend in the shifter bracket. Now remove the crossover exhaust system, well that was a job for the workshop. It took more than 3 hours to loosen the fasteners from the exhaust pipe.

Well built product. Great features like magnetic drain plug and threaded connection for oil temperature sensor. The kit is easy to install and has all the necessary hardware parts, no missing parts. As for price, quality can't come cheap, especially since a rebuilt transmission can cost $2,500 or more.

I was trying to install this pan on a 2006 Gmc Savana. You can't install this pan without a little work. The cross member or the exhaust pipe are not cleaned. I just didn't want to remove the exhaust system to install it. If you are willing to put in the time and effort I am sure this is a great product.

Good pot. Used on a 350 turbo I built years ago and liked it so much I bought it for my '98 GMC Z71 4l60e. The problem is that my truck came with a factory pallet. So if you use an extension, the filter sticks out so far that you can't unscrew the pan. If you remove the extension, you risk disabling the filter. I cut about 9/16 of the plastic filter tube to make it smaller and it seems to have worked. It would be nice if B&M made a third adapter that was a little shorter.

Great product but. My 2001 GMC Sierra 4x4 5.3 came with a factory pan on my 4L60E. When using this pan with the factory depth filter kit, there is a gap inside between the filter and the pan that can cause the filter to fall out. If you add a 4L60E filter extension, B&M won't let you install a drip tray because the filter is too low. Concerned that the filter would fall out without the extension, I cut the filter about half an inch to leave a gap in the plumbing pan. It took a bit of work but…

Feels solid in hands, thick heavy casting and the machining looks nice. I didn't have a temp gauge on my transmission prior to installing it, but I can tell you that after 4000-5000 miles my temp gauge doesn't get much above 150 (it usually takes a long steep climb to get it above 150) and usually stays there Temperatures from 45 degrees and above to 150 and close to 125 when freezing at or below. I know it's a passive cooling part, but I believe it supplies cooler fluid to the transmission. I…

The tray itself is great. I was concerned it might not fit my 1994 Chevy Silverado with a 350 engine due to the cross member. The B&M people weren't very helpful when I called. Count the number of screws delivered. I missed 2 and the Wix filter I ordered was for a "deep pan". The metal filter extension that came with it doesn't work with the filter, so I assumed the filter I ordered didn't need an extension. I half expected the filter to fall off and cause some problems. The trans smoothly…
