PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Deep Transmission Pan

2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Turbo / 2019–2025 Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Turbo / 2020–2023 Jeep Wrangler 3.0L EcoDiesel / 2021–2025 Jeep Wrangler 6.4L 392 / 2021–2023 Jeep Gladiator 3.0L

Part #: 228153020

Overview

The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Deep Transmission Pan is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler models from 2018 through 2025 and Jeep Gladiator models from 2021 to 2023 equipped with 2.0L Turbo, 3.0L EcoDiesel, and 6.4L 392 engines. This robust transmission pan enhances your vehicle’s transmission durability and cooling efficiency by increasing fluid capacity and improving heat dissipation.

Ideal for off-road enthusiasts, heavy-duty users, and daily drivers who demand reliable transmission performance under extreme conditions, this deep pan helps extend transmission life by maintaining optimal operating temperatures. It is a direct replacement for the factory stamped steel pan, offering superior strength, improved cooling, and easier maintenance.

Key Features

Engineered with advanced materials and thoughtful design, the PPE transmission pan delivers exceptional protection and performance benefits:

• Constructed from high-grade A356.0-T6 cast aluminum alloy for outstanding strength and durability
• Deep design increases transmission fluid capacity by 2.2 quarts, enhancing cooling and fluid longevity
• External cooling fins maximize heat dissipation by increasing surface area exposed to airflow
• Internal baffles improve fluid contact with aluminum surfaces, boosting heat transfer and reducing fluid sloshing
• Cross-bracing structure formed by longitudinal fins and baffles enhances impact resistance and structural rigidity
• Replaceable transmission filter mounts directly inside the pan, simplifying fluid service and lowering maintenance costs
• High-temperature-rated neodymium magnet in the drain plug captures ferrous metal particles to protect transmission components
• Compatible with 850RE and 8HP75 transmissions found in specified Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models

Construction & Design

The transmission pan is precision cast from premium A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, renowned for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior thermal conductivity. Its deep profile not only increases fluid capacity by 2.2 quarts but also helps maintain cooler transmission temperatures during heavy use, towing, or off-road driving.

Strategically designed external cooling fins maximize airflow and heat dissipation while reinforcing the pan’s structural integrity. Inside, integrated baffles optimize fluid dynamics by increasing the contact area between transmission fluid and aluminum surfaces, improving heat transfer and minimizing fluid movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This combination of external fins and internal baffles creates a robust, cross-braced structure that resists impacts and road debris.

Installation & Fitment

The PPE Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Transmission Pan is a direct bolt-on 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, utilizing existing mounting points and gasket surfaces for a straightforward upgrade.

The included replaceable transmission filter mounts inside the pan, eliminating the need to discard the entire filter during fluid changes. This design simplifies maintenance procedures and reduces overall service costs.

What's Included

• Heavy-duty cast aluminum deep transmission pan
• Replaceable transmission filter compatible with the pan
• High-temperature neodymium magnet drain plug
• Mounting hardware and gasket
• Installation instructions
