Congratulations! You have just pur-
chased one of the finest cast alumi-
num pans available for the Chrysler
Torqueflite A-727/518/618/46RE/
46RH/47RE/48RE Transmissions.
The B&M Torqueflite Cast Alumi-
num Deep Oil Pan
has been de-
signed to work on all Chrysler trucks
with the Torqueflite A-727/518/618/
46RE/46RH/47RE/48RE transmis-
sions. The B&M Torqueflite Cast
Aluminum Deep Oil Pan
provides
several advantages over stock factory
oil pans. The extra capacity and cool-
ing fins provide increased oil volume
and added cooling, while the alumi-
num construction increases case ri-
gidity. The drain plug feature allows
regular transmission maintenance
and oil changes without the usual
mess assosciated with “dropping the
pan.”

This B&M Torqueflite Cast Alu-

minum Deep Oil Pan can be in-
stalled by anyone with minimum me-
chanical experience. It is however,
important to closely follow the instruc-
tions.

We recommend that you read

through the instructions completely
before beginning the installation, so
you can familiarize yourself with the
installation procedure. Check the tool
list at the end of these instructions
for the tools required to install your
B&M Torqueflite Cast Aluminum
Deep Oil Pan.

When installing your Deep Oil

Pan there are several other B&M
products you may wish to consider:
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER:
We feel that it is very important that
every vehicle should have a trans-
mission oil cooler in addition to the
radiator heat exchanger. Heat is the
major cause of transmission failures,
and an oil cooler is an inexpensive
safeguard against overheating. B&M
offers a wide range of transmission
coolers to suit every need, which are
available at your B&M dealer.
TRICK SHIFT PERFORMANCE or
SYNTHETIC ATF:
Trick Shift perfor-
mance and synthetic automatic trans-
mission fluid is the industry’s leading
performance ATF. A specially blended
oil with foam inhibitors, extreme pres-
sure agents and shift improvers, this

fluid assures protection while deliver-
ing the fastest possible shifts. You lit-
erally “Pour in performance.” Available
at your B&M dealer.

INTRODUCTION

The Deep Oil Pan can be installed

in about an hour by carefully following
the instructions. Transmission com-
ponents are precision fit and dirt is the
number one enemy of an automatic
transmission. Cleanliness is very im-
portant, so a clean work surface from
which oil can easily be removed is
necessary.
Caution: Automatic transmissions
operate at temperatures between
150°F and 250°F. It is suggested that
the vehicle be allowed to cool off for
a few hours to avoid burns from hot
oil and parts. The vehicle should be
off the ground for ease of installa-
tion - jack stands, wheel ramps or a
hoist will work fine (4WD vehicles may
not need to be lifted). MAKE SURE
VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SUPPORTED -
DO NOT WORK UNDER A VEHICLE
IF IT IS SUPPORTED BY ONLY A
JACK! Try to raise the vehicle 1-2 feet
