Deep E40D trans pan question

Please disregard this post. All of the offers say the pans will not fit my 1991 Ford F250 E4OD. I don't know what the difference is but they all say they will not fit unless the filter is different.. Thanks anyway.


I would like to get a new E4OD pan with the drain plug. Bronco Graveyard has one for a 4X4 and I am 2WD. My questions are: 1. I will need to get a 4X4 filter correct? 2 How much extra fluid will I need for this pan over stock? 3. Anything wrong with doing this? Thanks as always,

You will need a 4x4 filter if using a stock 4x4 pan aka deep oem pan.

Don't know how much extra fluid, but not much...

Nothing wrong with doing this swap.

There are aftermarket filter retainers, i think they are a good idea, and relatively cheap.

The stock rubber gaskets are supposed to be reusable... don't know what you have as it is an earlier model. Use a good gasket.

Be careful on installation not to over do it on any of the bolts as it is an aluminum case.

No message received... but no worries... if you are going to go for adding the drain to what you have that will for sure be the most cost effective option.

Just a heads up, Motorcraft bagged filters are made by Filtran. So save a few dollars and get the same filter without the MC markup.

Be sure to use the pan magnet and I guess you are adding about 1qt of capacity.

Agree on filter retainer. Just installed this and a shift kit in my 4R100.
