Anyone run a Dearle deep steel pan w/ airflow cooling tubes ? Any clearance problems? Kinda heavy, but Figured it would be good insurance if bracket racing ...thanks, Norris

Don't plug the line feeds on a torqueflite as the rear shaft support gets it's lubrication from there.

Jim,
As you know I have a Pro Trans 904 also. They will tell you all you need is a loop. Mine came with a copper line loop. No problems. I change the fluid every 30 runs and have a reusable/cleanable filter. Fluid levels are very important in these trannys! Jim

Thanks guys....I'm looping and changing frequently. And yes Jim, after Reynolds last year I keep a real close eye on the level!
