I don't know squat about transmissions. I have already installed a nice KB external cooler in front of the radiator. However, I have the transmission pan kit on the way from Kirban's. I figured the filter needs to be changed anyway, so why not install a larger pan and gasket in the process. Is the extra fluid capacity really that big of a deal? Is there anything I need to check for or replace once I drop the pan? I know I should check for any chunks of metal. But should I change out the TCC solenoid? Are the 200-4R transmissions pretty solid in their stock form?

the deeper pan , keep the filter from being uncovered with fluid on hard acceleration.

Ø Pans: Stock pan with 2004R filter, good driver.
Ø Deep Cast Aluminum with 700 filter, better and good for street/strip.
Ø Shallow sheet metal aluminum pan, fluid is always cool and with the new rear pickup & filter design is excellent for street/strip and is only 2 ¾" deep.
Ø Deep sheet metal aluminum pan, again new sump deep in the back of the pan is the
best.
**All tests were done with very sensitive pressure gauges to insure results, the more we moved the sump to the back and bottom, the more consistant and rock solid pressures were found.**

Are there torque specs for the pan to transmission? I didn't see a specified number on the torque spec page of this site.
