GM 6L80, 6L80E, Low Profile with Pan Fill Pan

This pan will fit the GM 6L80, 6L80E transmission found on many configurations of GM, Cadillac, Chevy and Hummer H2. Some possible vehicles:

• Camaro 2010 to 2015, V8 6.2L
• Hummer H2 2008 to 2009, V8 6.2L, with undercarriage protection (check clearance)
• Trucks and SUVs needing more ground clearance than with the PML deep pan (such as those that are lowered or have skid plates)
• Chevy/GM cars with 3.3" stock pan and similar level check

Check these items before ordering:

1. Verify transmission is a 6L80/6L80E.
2. Measure depth of stock pan since this PML pan replaces 3.3 inches deep stock pans.
3. Check that there is clearance for a pan about 5/8 inch deeper.
4. If vehicle requires use of fill/level check on pan, the fill/level check hole on the PML pan must be at the same location relative to the flange. Most trucks and SUVs have a dipstick and a stock pan without a fill/level check. Read this PDF for more information on the fill/level check in the pan: Verify Level Check.

Configurations vary and PML cannot guarantee fitment.

PML designed this transmission pan for 2006 and newer Cadillac, GMC, and Chevrolet cars and GM trucks and SUVs with the 6L80, 6L80E transmission. Features:

• Maintains ground clearance or clearance to skid plate, only 5/8 inch deeper than stock
• Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction
• Finned to dissipate heat from transmission fluid
• Drain hole and magnetic drain plug for easier maintenance
• Fill/level check hole and plug for filling the transmission through the pan
• Thick walls to add strength to the transmission housing
• Thick gasket flange, machined flat for a leak free seal

There is a fill/level check hole for vehicles without a dipstick, such as some Camaros. The fill/level check is 5/8 inch below the flange. Check that your stock pan is the same. See Applications for more information.

If the exhaust crosses underneath the stock pan, you may need to drop or lower the exhaust to install this pan. Three bolts are difficult to access and there is not any space to manuever the thicker PML pan on to the transmission housing.

PML also makes a GM 6L80 deep transmission pan with extra capacity. It is part number 11025.
