Pacific Performance Engineering 228053420 Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan ZF 8HP70 Black

The Pacific Performance Engineering 228053420 Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan is a permanent replacement solution for the ZF 8-speed transmission found in Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel and V8 gas models. Excessive heat is the enemy of transmission longevity, and this engineered upgrade addresses that critical issue head-on.

Superior Heat Management:

Cast from high-grade A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, this transmission pan provides 1.5 quarts of additional fluid capacity compared to the factory plastic pan. The increased fluid volume combined with external cooling fins dramatically improves heat dissipation, keeping transmission temperatures in the optimal range. Internal baffles at the bottom of the pan increase contact between the fluid and cast-aluminum surfaces, enhancing heat transfer while reducing fluid sloshing for consistent fluid pickup and stable transmission performance.

Key Features:

• High-grade A356.0-T6 heat-treated cast aluminum construction
• 1.5 quarts additional fluid capacity for enhanced thermal management
• Deep external cooling fins maximize heat dissipation surface area
• Internal baffles improve heat transfer and reduce fluid sloshing
• Integrated replaceable transmission filter included (eliminates costly factory pan disposal)
• Neodymium magnet-equipped drain plug captures ferrous metal contaminants
• Threaded 1/8" NPT port for optional temperature sensor installation
• Black powder coat finish
• Compatible with factory rubber gasket and steel collars
• BMW OEM equivalent part number: 24-11-8-612-901

Cost-Effective Maintenance:

Unlike the factory plastic pan that must be discarded at every service interval, the PPE pan features a removable and replaceable filter that bolts directly inside. Simply drain, replace the filter, and refill—eliminating the high recurring cost of factory pan replacement while making transmission services cleaner and more convenient.

This pan is compatible with ZF 8HP45, 845RE, 8HP50, 850RE, 8HP70, and 8HP75 transmissions. Cooler transmission fluid means better lubrication, extended transmission service life, and reduced long-term maintenance costs.
