Very informative video.I have a Hughes pan with blue Moroso gasket on my TH400 on the back of a 540ci bbc. When I had the 396 and th400. I had a speedway pan, noticed it didn't leak with a blue gasket and dropped the trans temp 10 degrees. Every since then been a fan of the deep cast pans. You bring up a great point about about the fixing the filter in place. I had never considered that. I'll look into updating that when I change the fluid next time.
When I built my 4L80E I used the Sonnax adjustable reverse servo. I ended up using no spacers on the servo pin. All I did to set mine servo was push the piston 3/4 of the way in, and the reverse band engaged the direct drum solidly with hand pressure. Then I left it at that. I found that I cannot use deep sump transmission pans on my 4X4 truck because it leaves no room for the front drive shaft cardan joint. I had to go back to the factory steel pan because the factory pan has a cut away in the pan for front drive shaft clearance.
Shawn my old Matco guy sold Redback boots and sold them like crazy. Alot of people loved them. You need to get you some Redback socks, thyre really comfortable socks.
Here is a lesson that I learned with aluminum pans. They are rigid and don't flex like the steel pan does. I made a mistake on the torque spec and over tightened the bolts and broke the flanges on the trans case. I have to disassemble the trans, and spent the biggest part of the day welding up where I broke it out. Some guys get picky about welded cases, I look at it like this, as long as it is welded good and don't leak it's good. The pan came in a box with nothing but the pan, so I torqued it like a stock pan. I would rather use the steel deep pan.

Good stuff, Shawn! Thanks again for sharing your valuable insights.
another very nice informative show thanks again shuan
I have two Moroso blue pan gaskets in use on TWO TH 400s so far so good Thanks Shawn for this subject .
My summit pan has taken a beating from a couple big wheelies….the fins on the front look like they’ve been milled off 😂.

Great video . Have you ever tried lubelocker pan gaskets ?. I just tried one with the B&m aluminum pan . I hope it works
They are on my list to try, Thanks!
Have you use the LubeLocker th400 gaskets? If so, any thoughts on them?
Plastics vs metal tube? And why no fabricated pan's??
👍FTI
What is ur go to pan gasket? And do you rtv pan side or trans side? Or both?
Dry cork always works.
I avoid RTV, it makes a mess and hydraulics the bolt holes, and usually leaks.
@@mountainsgarage thank you sir
What are your thoughts on copper coated pans? I bought one
