im not sure how tranny pumps work, but if they are like engine oil pumps, would that deeper pan not pump oil as well or at all?


Not sure what you're asking. Does the deep pan keep the pump from oiling? No, it works just like the standard pan would. The pump doesn't know how deep the pan is. The oil level in the pan is still the same.

The deeper pan mainly gives a bigger resevoir of oil, and a little more surface area for cooling through the pan. The extra mass makes it swing through temp changes slower, like when climbing a long hill with the converter unlocked. To take full advantage of it though, you would need to drop the level of the pickup in the pan. That's kinda hard because the pickup *is* the filter. I may figure out a way to do it yet, but it's not real high on my worry list.
