Dorman 265-850 Transmission Pan With Drain Plug, Gasket And Bolts Compatible with Select Models (OE FIX)

I did a transmission drain and fill on my Ram with 91,000 miles on it. The pan fit fine and after 3 weeks of operation, no leaks have been detected. Torque the retaining screws to the proper spec in the proper sequence and you should have no problems.The pan appears to be well made. I like the idea that it has a replaceable filter whereas the OEM pan filter is not replaceable.I think this pan is slightly deeper than the OEM pan as the 3/4" long piece of 10mm allen key I made to access the drain plug was just a bit more difficult to insert into the Dorman drain plug after the pan was installed. The exhaust crossover on the 5.7L Hemi engine is directly below the drain on the pan, which makes it difficult to access.I also had to unbolt the rear transmission mount (3-15mm nuts) and lift the transmission approximately an inch so the pans could be removed and replaced. Again, the exhaust crossover is in the way here too.Not only is the pipe in the way, the exhaust crossover will burn your arms while replacing the fill plug on the ZF during the procedure unless you insulate yourself from it somehow. (I wore welding gloves.)And FWIW, I used Valvoline Maxlife ATF in the Ram's 8 speed ZF transmission to do the drain and fill. Many, many Ram owners are using Maxlife ATF in their ZF's with excellent results.The drain and fill procedure isn't difficult. It's like any other job. Having the right tools makes all the difference.

I got this for my 2017 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab 2wd 8 spd transmission. I watched all the YT videos on how to do drain and refill, and this pan was used in a few of those videos. It fit up like OE. It does have the removable/replaceable filter inside, so it will be a few buck cheaper the next time I do this procedure. Installing on my truck was not as easy as it showed on YT, the OE pan would not clear the cross-pipe. Everyone says to lift the rear of the trans, and its funny because the pipe lifted with the transmission as well, its all bolted to the same engine, BUT it did move like 3/16 of an inch, but he pan still would not come out, there was a small lip that kept preventing this from happening. I finally removed the gasket from the pan, and that was actually JUST enough for it to finally clear. Install was just the same, I had to install the new pan with the gasket not set in the pan groove in order for it to clear that lip, then with a little finagling, and patience, I got it all together, and bolted it all up and torqued to spec. To this date, I've had no leaks or any issues. So, this is a good pan to use in my opinion.

Perfect fit, gasket is a little bit tight but not leaking. Just get replaced and fluid changed. Will see how it goes.

Perfect fit for 2017 dodge durango gt 3.6l. Having the serviceable filter is something that should have been done at the factory but Dorman stepped in and made a fantastic product. Item comes with new mounting bolts as well.

Well made and packaged product. This product seems to marginally increase the transmission oil capacity. In my opinion it's overpriced for what you get but it is better than the OEM design.

Worked as mentioned. No leaks.good quality.

Worked great for my 2017 Ram.

Install was straight forward and easy. Thought I had a leak from improperly installing it so I did it again and still had a leak. I then noticed it was leaking from the middle of the pan! One of the screws that holds the filter in place want to far and punctured it. They are sending me a new pan but still a lot of time and fluids lost.
