Construction & Design

This transmission pan is fabricated from robust steel, providing superior durability compared to standard stamped pans. The steel construction offers excellent resistance to dents and impacts commonly encountered during off-road driving or daily use. The pan’s design mirrors the OEM specifications to ensure seamless integration with the 42RLE transmission housing.

Precision engineering guarantees accurate bolt hole alignment and sealing surfaces, minimizing the risk of leaks and simplifying installation. The steel material also aids in dissipating heat from the transmission fluid, contributing to improved thermal management under demanding driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment

The Crown Auto Transmission Pan is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for Jeep Wrangler JK and TJ models from 2003 through 2011, including specific engine variants such as the 3.8L V6 and 4.0L I6. Installation requires removal of the existing transmission pan and cleaning of the mating surfaces. Since the gasket is not included, it is recommended to purchase a compatible gasket separately or reuse a gasket in good condition to ensure a proper seal.

No modifications or special tools are necessary, making this an ideal option for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid warping or leaks.
