It doesnt look much if any lower than the header collectors and they look higher than the frame rails. PM Spyder, he will be able to tell you exactly what the clearance is.

Update! Well yesterday i got a call that it might be a sensor in the transmission. So i was glad for the rest of the day that it could of been a sensor. Well today i woke up to a phone call from the dealer. Not good news. They said the planetary gear is messed up. So i gotta buy a new transmission. Gonna cost me $2,500 for a rebuilt transmission. Well i guess i gotta stop with the lead foot but sometimes i just cant help it . Thanks for your prayers though!

The Ghost: I was wondering if you can give me some points to lower the shift points. Ive noticed with the Brenspeed tune the shifting is really agressive. I like it but i think i learned my lesson. hee hee. Once again thank you for everyones support!

Yea, I've been in contact with Spyder about the pan. He was going to batch order and sell himself, but It didn't work out. As to lowering the shift points....WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT?? These auto's are dogs from the factory. It is almost a neccessity that the shifts are firmed up and the the shift points be set to match the torque curve (at all RPM's) Doing mods to these cars really requires the auto to be tuned to specifically match the mods to get the most/best out of it. HEAT KILLS AUTO'S quick, firm shifts and proper converter lock-up are the keys to keeping heat down. If you race much an external cooler of the very best variety you can afford is a must have. I currently have two external coolers so I could increase my fluid volume. I have 30,000 on the car and a lot of track time during this. So far it's holding up fine. But i am going to set it up where I can service and check the fluid myself. You know, no more warranty now...might as well make the whole car what i want it to be.
