A340-E deep or alloy transimion pan
 

I was just wondering if a deep or alloy transimion pan was ever made for the A340-E? It is the same as a AW4 used in Jeeps Cherokee's and have made a deep pan by joining two together but wondered if there were one you could buy one already made or in alloy?

Thankyou

can't say i've ever heard of that option...

what reasons would you do this?

Being made from alloy increases the strength of the case and transfers the heat away much better than steel will. Tests on a rear diff cover for example showed a 20*C difference between a steel and a alloy one. Making the pan deeper as I have done increases the fluid volume which also allows it to run cooler. I had trouble that before the I made the deeper pan that the shifts would begin to slow on hot days when under load like towing. If anyone wants to see how I made the deep pan, just let me know as have a full write up on my web site about it.

that would be pretty damn cool!!!

ours are currently steel aren't they

the other thing i would need to check is how much depth room we have... i'm lowered 2" so i don't want judder bar scrapes heheh

do you make them yourself?

Would be a lot harder for a Supra than on my Jeep in can tell you. I have made only mine but people keep asking me to make one for them but it too much time and trouble and cant just by the pans here in Australia.
