B&M Trans Pan

Anyone here have the PML? Looking into one of these to extend the life of my transmission. B&M looks great, but like the idea of saving an extra $100. Also do like using the factory gasket though with the B&M!

 

I run the PML. Nice pan. The cork gasket went in the trash, Three Bond 1207c seals it nicely.

 

Curious, isn't the sealing surface on both based on the transmission housing? Meaning, is there something else preventing factory gasket use with either one?

 

The PML pan is not machined to accept the stock gasket, which is a molded type with spacers to prevent over tightening and distortion of said gasket.

 

When I do it, im splurging for the B&M purely due to the name.. stupid I know, but would rather have a reputable brand and use the stock gasket

 

On my list of upgrades later this summer

 

Holley has the B&M 70393 pan on sale for $461.66, which is less than the MSRP of $570. Seems like $512 has been the recent retail price. Either way, $466 is less than both.
