B&M 40281 CAST DEEP PAN - Manual

Check parts list below on this sheet. Do not proceed if
any parts are missing. Contact your B&M dealer. Also
check tool list before beginning.
Step 1 Automatic transmissions reach temperatures
up to 250°F. Let the vehicle cool for a few hours. The
vehicle should be off the ground for ease of installation.
Jack stands, wheel ramps or a hoist will work fine.
MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SUPPORTED. Try
to raise it at least 1-2 feet so you have plenty of room to
work.
Step 2 Loosen and remove oil pan bolts one at a times
working toward the front of the transmission. Remove
the last two bolts slowly and the pan will tilt down to
allow the fluid to drain. If the pan sticks to the old
gasket, pry it down slightly with a screwdriver before
removing the last two bolts to break the seal.
Step 3 Remove eleven (11) filter screws. Remove and
discard filter and gasket.
Step 4 Install filter extension and gasket onto the valve
body. Tighten screws to 25 in-lbs.
Step 5 Install filter onto filter extension using filter
screws and nuts supplied.
Step 6 Install drain plug gasket onto drain plug and
install into pan.
Step 7 If using a temperature sensor, install in provided
1/8” NPT port on driver’s side otherwise apply teflon
tape to thread of plug & tighten 1/8” NPT plug.
Step 8 Scrape old gasket off surface of case. Old
gasket material can cause leaks. Install deep pan and
new gasket onto transmission. Install 17 pan bolts and
flat washers and tighten 12-13 ft-Ibs. Do not overtighten
as this can damage gasket.
Note: Some shifter brackets may have to be modified
slightly for clearance.
Step 9 Lower vehicle. Add five (5) quarts of B&M Trick
Shift or Type F ATF. Start engine and shift transmission
through all gear positions. Place selector in Neutral and
check fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL AS THIS WILL
CAUSE FOAMING AND OVERHEATING. Check for leaks.
