700r4 pan with drain plug

Any recommendation for a stock depth pan with a drain plug. I am looking for something quality that won't warp and leak.
It would be cool if it also has a port for a temp gauge, but not 100% necessary.
Thanks

You can buy a drain plug kit from Jegs or Summit and install it in your existing pan. Cost is less than $10.

Re: 700r4 pan with drain plug

I know which one not to buy, this Summit one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-433886. It's a stock depth, aluminum one with a drain plug. Had it for years, tried everything and it still leaks... I'm going to back to a GM genuine and put in a drain!

I’ve been running this pan for a few years with no issues, just had to retighten a few bolts after a few years but no leaks or trouble. I also wanted a magnetic plug so I added a derale magnetic plug, I can’t remember the part number on that one though.

Those both look like the identical same pan.

Re: 700r4 pan with drain plug

I bought a pack of magnet drain plugs and some nuts. Every transmission pan I remove goes back on with the nut welded inside and drain plug installed. No more mess changing the oil.

I personally wouldn't bother with a temp gauge on a car transmission, but to each their own.

Re: 700r4 pan with drain plug

If you're going to go with a universal drain plug kit, I prefer the Dorman 65128; it has a straight thread plug that I use with a seal washer (stat-o-seal or aluminum). I think it seals better than the B&M type kits that use a tapered thread pipe plug.

Re: 700r4 pan with drain plug

When looking for a high-quality stock depth oil pan with a drain plug that's less likely to warp or leak, you'll want to consider a few well-known brands and their product offerings. Additionally, having a port for a temperature gauge is a great feature to monitor your engine's oil temperature. If you're an aspiring college student looking for assistance writing an essay about "sterotype," you can look at some sample essays at my link. In addition to exploring the book's themes, characters, and symbolism, an essay on "sterotype" you may click reference and look at the historical and social context in which it was written. You can use this resource to gain important insights and inspiration for your own essay.
