Overview
The Mag-Hytec Dodge 68RFE Deep Sump Transmission Pan (Painted) is a cast aluminum replacement pan for the 68RFE automatic transmission, with a deeper sump that holds 2.5 quarts more fluid than the stock pan. Its overall height is 4 5/8 inches, and the finned painted body is designed to help the transmission run cooler under load. It suits owners who want extra fluid capacity for towing or hard use.
Mag-Hytec builds its differential covers and transmission pans for recreational and service vehicles that work hard. This pan is cast in A356-T6 aluminum, texture powder coated black, and machined with cooling fins. Magnetic drain plugs trap worn gear material, and fluid can be changed without removing the pan. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.

Installing a deep sump pan
Before the pan comes off, drain the old fluid and note any debris in the sump. The sealing surface on the transmission case should be flat and clean, since even a small high spot can cause a leak with new O-rings. Remove old gasket material with a plastic scraper rather than metal tools that can gouge the aluminum.
A deeper sump may sit closer to the crossmember, the exhaust or the driveshaft, so measure clearance before tightening the bolts. Tighten the pan bolts in a crisscross pattern to an even clamp. Refill with the correct fluid after installation, then check the level again after a short drive, since a fresh pan can hold a different amount of fluid than the old one. Keep the magnetic drain plug clean before reinstalling it.
