The Chrysler/Mercedes NAG1, 722.6 family of transmission includes W5A580, WA580, W5A380, and W5J400.
Optionally, this pan can be machined for a temperature sending unit.
If you would like PML to drill and tap hole. A plug for the hole is included.
The standard size is 1/8 NPT. Call or email if you need a different size.
PML designed two locations for optional drilling and tapping, one on the passenger/right side and one on the driver/left side.
PML makes a cork composite gasket for PML NAG1/722.6 transmission pans.
One PML gasket is included with each transmission pan.
PML NAG1/722.6 pans are not compatible with the stock gaskets. The PML gasket is not compatible with the stock pan.
RTV can be used in place of the gasket but the pan is designed to work with the gasket.
PML placed the drain hole on the driver's side, near the rear of the vehicle.
A magnetic drain plug is included along with new mounting bolts.
A side location for the drain is safer than the bottom and still has easy access.
Dipstick and Transmission Fluid Level
The fluid level should be at the same level in the stock pan and a PML pan. 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 images of the inside of the pan, you can see the square ledge near the filter supports.
Many vehicles with these transmissions do not have a dipstick and the correct fluid level is based on temperature. 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.
