C-6 Deep Alum Oil Pan

The C-6 Deep Aluminum Oil Pan from TCI is purpose-built for serious automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who demand reliable oil capacity and thermal management in high-performance applications. This deep-sump design addresses a critical weakness in stock pan geometry: insufficient oil volume during aggressive cornering, hard acceleration, and sustained high-RPM operation. Whether you're running a street-driven C-6 transmission or building a dedicated performance platform, this pan prevents oil starvation at the pickup tube—a failure mode that costs engines.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the C-6 Deep Pan increases total oil capacity while maintaining a compact footprint that clears typical suspension geometry and exhaust systems. The deep-sump configuration lowers the center of gravity of your fluid mass, contributing to improved weight distribution during performance driving. The 11.43 lb unit is dimensioned at 14.5 × 6.8 × 21.5 inches, engineered to integrate seamlessly with C-6 transmission mounting points without requiring custom fabrication. Aluminum construction provides excellent heat dissipation, allowing transmission fluid to shed heat more efficiently than steel pans—critical when running higher-viscosity fluids or in climates where ambient temperatures stress cooling capacity.

Mechanics and restorers working on vintage muscle cars, hot rods, and classic performance builds will find this pan essential for transmission longevity in modified vehicles. The increased sump volume is particularly valuable if you've upgraded to a higher-stall converter, added power, or are running your transmission harder than factory intended. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skill—standard gasket procedure applies. This upgrade pays dividends during dyno sessions, track days, or any driving that demands sustained transmission duty, ensuring adequate fluid supply to the pump and cooler circuits under all conditions.
