PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan

2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler / 2021–2023 Jeep Gladiator 2.0L, 3.0L, 3.6L, 6.4L Engines

228153420

Overview:

The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan is engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler models from 2018 to 2025 and Jeep Gladiator models from 2021 to 2023, equipped with 2.0L, 3.0L, 3.6L, and 6.4L engines paired with 850RE or 8HP75 transmissions. Designed to combat excessive heat buildup, this transmission pan enhances fluid cooling and extends transmission life by maintaining optimal operating temperatures. Ideal for off-road enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, it offers improved durability and serviceability over the factory stamped steel pan.

By increasing fluid capacity and improving heat dissipation, the PPE transmission pan helps prevent premature wear caused by fluid breakdown and reduced lubrication. This upgrade is essential for Jeep owners seeking reliable transmission performance under demanding conditions.

Key Features:

This heavy-duty transmission pan combines advanced design with practical features to maximize transmission protection and service convenience:

• Constructed from high-grade A356.0-T6 cast aluminum for superior strength and heat conduction
• Provides an additional 1.0 quart of transmission fluid capacity for enhanced cooling and thermal management
• Deep external cooling fins increase surface area to efficiently dissipate heat and maintain lower fluid temperatures
• Integrated internal baffles improve fluid contact with the pan’s aluminum surfaces, boosting heat transfer and reducing fluid sloshing
• Cross-bracing structure formed by longitudinal fins and baffles increases impact resistance and structural rigidity
• Replaceable transmission filter bolts directly inside the pan, simplifying fluid changes and reducing maintenance costs
• Magnetic drain plug with a high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet captures ferrous metal particles to protect transmission components
• Compatible with Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator 850RE and 8HP75 transmissions, replacing the OEM stamped steel pan and filter

Construction & Design:

The PPE transmission pan is precision cast from premium A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity. Its robust construction not only withstands off-road impacts but also enhances heat dissipation through its deep cooling fins. These fins are strategically designed to maximize surface area without compromising ground clearance or fitment.

Internal baffles are engineered to increase fluid turbulence and contact with the pan’s aluminum surfaces, improving heat transfer and preventing fluid starvation during aggressive driving or steep inclines. The pan’s cross-bracing design distributes mechanical loads evenly, enhancing durability and resistance to deformation.

Installation & Fitment:

The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan is a direct replacement for the factory stamped steel pan on Jeep Wrangler (2018–2025) and Jeep Gladiator (2021–2023) models equipped with 850RE or 8HP75 transmissions. Installation requires no modifications and fits perfectly with OEM gaskets and hardware. The included replaceable filter mounts inside the pan, eliminating the need to discard the entire filter during fluid changes, making maintenance easier and more cost-effective.

This pan is designed to clear exhaust components and maintain proper ground clearance, especially in 3.6L V6 applications where external fins are machined for exhaust cross pipe clearance.

What's Included:

• Heavy-duty cast aluminum transmission pan with cooling fins and internal baffles
• Replaceable transmission filter compatible with Jeep 850RE and 8HP75 transmissions
• Magnetic drain plug with neodymium magnet
• Installation hardware and gasket
• Detailed installation instructions

Ideal For:

This transmission pan is ideal for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator owners who demand enhanced transmission cooling and durability, especially those who frequently tow, haul, or engage in off-road driving. It benefits anyone looking to extend the life of their transmission by reducing heat-related wear and simplifying routine maintenance with a reusable filter system.

Pacific Performance Engineering (PPE) develops heavy-duty and performance upgrades for trucks and diesel platforms, including differential covers, transmission pans, oiling and cooling components, and other durability-minded parts. PPE products are built to handle heat, load, and power—ideal for tow rigs and performance builds that need stronger hardware and better fluid control.
