This pan adds strength and aids in heat dissipation while maintaining ground clearance. It is a bolt-on replacement for the C5 Corvette stock pan.
This pan features extra capacity and will hold 3½ quarts more than the stock pan. Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction adds strength to the transmission case. The fins on the bottom of the pan and the extra capacity keep the fluid cool. Cooler running temperatures through expanded oil capacity and raised fins will help reduce wear and tear on the transmission.
