PML designed this pan to meet the demands of high performance cars that require a lower profile than our extra capacity 200–4R deep pan.

Overall height is 3 1/8 inches. Although this pan is stock capacity, it is still larger than the stock pan. Always check your vehicle for clearance before ordering.

Benefits:

• Stiff construction
• Finned
• Aluminum cooling
• Drain hole and magnetic drain plug
• Thick, machined gasket flange for a secure seal
• Filter supports
• Location for optional drilling and tapping for a temperature sending unit

This PML pan fits many models of rear wheel drive cars with the GM 200–4R 4 speed automatic transmission. GM used this transmission from 1982 to 1990. Many models of these vehicles have the 200–4R:

• Buick Regal T Type
• Grand National
• Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS

The 200–4R (or 200 R4) transmission is popular replacement transmission for high performance applications.

If a bracket attaches to the stock pan, the bracket can require modification or replacement for attaching to a PML pan because the walls and flange of the PML pan are thicker than the stock pan.

Inside of PML 200 4R Pan

The four rectangular areas on the bottom of the pan are the filter supports.

Gasket

For a gasket, PML generally recommends a cork composite type or paper fiber type gasket. There are several brands and vendors for gaskets. This is an example. It is a GM TH200-4R Transmission Oil Pan Gasket part number 8634198, ordered from GlobalTransmissionParts.com.

Inside of Pan

In the interior, the pan features cast-in baffles.

Filter Information

This PML pan works with stock filters. Example part numbers are: AC Delco TF234, Fram FT1057B, Fram FT1057C, Hastings TF60, Purolator P1194, Wix 58896

PML 200 4R transmission pans have filter supports so a filter extension is not needed. The supports hold the filter at the same level as the stock pan. The distance from the bottom of the stock pan to the top of the flange is 2.4 to 2.6 inches. The distance from PML filter supports to the top of the flange is the same. The stock filter is about 4.8 inches tall.

Some customers have reported to us that a 700R4 filter may also work with our 200 4R transmission pans. PML does not have any experience with this or recommend this.

Filter information is provided for reference only. Installer should verify transmission, filter and fitment based on the individual vehicle.

Drain Location and Optional Temperature Sending Unit Machining

The drain is located on the driver side of the pan. A magnetic drain plug is included with each pan.

Optionally, you can drill and tap a 1/8 NPT hole for a temperature sending unit. This would be for an aftermarket temperature gage.

A boss (thick area) on the passenger side of the pan is available for drilling and tapping.

Select the option before adding pan to cart. A plug for the hole is included. The standard size is 1/8 NPT. Check your aftermarket gage to verify the thread specifications for the sending unit before ordering. 

Bracket on Stock Pan?

Some vehicles have a bracket that attaches to the transmission pan and holds a cable in place. If a bracket attaches to the stock pan, the bracket will probably require modification or replacement to work on a PML pan. The walls and flange of the PML pan are much thicker than stock. This means that there is less space between the pan wall and the bolt hole.

Some customers have fabricated replacement brackets to be able to use a PML pan.
