Default Transmission Deep Pan?

Hey just putting this out there to see if anyone has used one of these trick flow deep transmission pans, there alot cheaper then the PA pans that are out there for our cars. Seems pretty good to me, let me know what you think?

The one from Trickflow looks like a stamped piece of metal (but it says aluminum). Fine for the purpose of adding addtional capacity to the tranny and maybe adding a dipstick if you opt for that version.

This one:

If I were looking to replace mine I'd get this one. I think this is the one you refer to as 'PA'

You get what you pay for.

Ya i think the performance automatic one is a rediculous price for a transmission pan. im gonna opt for the trick flow one. comes with a year warranty also.

I have the Performance Automatic pan, but I am interested in your feedback on the TFS pan, are you getting the one with the dipstick and filler tube?

Please post detailed pictures of the pan.

Trick flow unit only adds a 2 quart capacity and no dipstick. The PA unit adds 4 quarts and has a diptstick. Sure it cost more but if you race your car a lot like me its good insurance. Even hot lapping my car in 85` weather my trans temp never exceeds 180`. On the street daily driving it stays in the 170`'s temp range.
