Read about PML NAG1, 722.6 Transmission Pan Design (a new window or tab will open with a PDF file).

Many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Mercedes vehicles have the NAG1, 722.6 (W5A580, WA580, W5A380, W5J400) transmission so PML has designed three different pans for the transmission.

Some vehicles which typically can use this pan are:

• Jeep Grand Cherokee (SRT8, Laredo, Limited, Overland), 2006 to 2013
• Dodge Magnum, Charger, Challenger, 2006 to 2013, some 2014
• Chrysler 300, 300C with 5 speed transmissions, 2005 to 2012
• Mercedes (several models/years, sound plate may need altering, see INSTALLATIONS)
• Sprinter Vans (some models, usually 2002 to 2006, check for frame crossmembers)

General Guidelines:

To determine which PML NAG1, 722.6 pan will work best, check how much space is available for a larger transmission pan. Look at the space from the stock transmission pan to:

• Frame
• Exhaust
• Ground (the transmission pan should not be lower than the frame)
• Drive Shaft
• Skid or sound dampening plates
• Other vehicle parts

Little or no space, like Jeep Wrangler and some cars:
NAG1, 722.6 Stock Capacity Transmission Pan

Some space, like Grand Cherokee, some cars (Magnum, Charger), some Sprinter:
NAG1, 722.6 2 Quarts Over Transmission Pan (this pan)

Lots of ground clearance, like Sprinter:
NAG1, 722.6 2.5 Quarts Over Transmission Pan

These are GENERAL guidelines. PML cannot tell which pan will work since vehicle configurations vary.

Gasket

PML makes a custom cork composite gasket for PML NAG1/722.6 transmission pans. PML NAG1/722.6 pans are not compatible with the stock gaskets. The PML gasket is not compatible with the stock pan. RTV may be able to be used in place of the gasket but the pan is designed to work with the gasket.

One PML gasket is included with each transmission pan. Additional gaskets are available. 

Filter for PML 722.6/NAG1 Transmission Pan

The Mercedes part number on the filter PML used during design and development is 140 277 00 95.

PML design this pan to work with the stock filter. There are filter supports cast into the pan to hold the filter in place at the same level as the stock pan. The filter supports eliminate the need for an extension.

Dipstick and Transmission Fluid Level

The fluid level should be at the same level in the stock pan and a PML pan. The correct fluid level may be based on temperature.

On many vehicles, the dipstick uses the bottom of the pan as a stop. PML pans have a ledge where the dipstick hits at the same level as the stock pan even though the PML pan is larger overall. In the above image of the inside of the pan, the square ledge is next to the pan wall between two boltholes.

Some vehicles with these transmissions do not have a dipstick. The cap for the transmission fluid fill and level check can say "See Dealer". The installer of a replacement pan needs to have the correct tools to replace the transmission fluid according to the factory instructions. PML does not provide a dipstick.

Shield on Passenger's Front Corner

Some vehicles have a shield that attaches to the retaining clip at the front, passenger side corner of the stock pan.

Pans available since March 2016 have a tab for the shield to bolt on to. If you have an older pan, you will need to fabricate a connector or slightly bend the shield to bolt onto the PML pan.

Drain

PML placed the drain hole on the driver's side, near the rear of the vehicle. A side location for the drain is safer than the bottom and still has easy access. A magnetic drain plug is included along with new mounting bolts.

Machining for Temperature Sending Unit

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

PML designed three locations for adding a hole for a temperature sending unit:

• Driver/left side
• Passenger/right side, toward the front
• Passenger/right side, toward the rear
