The last couple years I was spraying my Valiant we ran the 904 with a deep pan and no extension just to see what it would do. When Keith tore the trans down after the second season everything looked fine.
We do have an extension in it now. IIRC, it is 1-1/2".

my gut feeling tells me that if the filter was bolted directly to the valvebody in a factory application for a factory pan's depth, it should be lowered an equal amount that is the new pan's depth difference. i have also considered a baffle, but i'm a little unsure of the shape, or where to attach it to the valve body. yes, i over complicate things all the time, and i think i'm doing this now. i want to attach the baffle to the valve body simply to ease pan cleaning. anyone having pictures of this to share will greatly be appreciated.

[/quote Measure down how far the valve is from the main case. The baffle has to be lower than the VB. Start with a strip of sheet aluminum a couple inches wide and fit it snuggly to the pan, running from driver side to pass. side, tack weld it. Attaching it to the valve body would make it difficult to get it tight to the pan, not impossible, but more work.

thanks Transman. that gives me an idea. since cast pans are pretty thick, cutting a 1/16" groove down each side of the pan, maybe .080 deep, then bend up a 16ga piece of aluminum with a 90 degree angle, 1/2" wide, on the bottom the width of the pan, with two "ears" at the top that would fit into the grooves cut into the side of the pan. this would allow easy removal of the baffle for cleaning. how far ahead of the filter should the baffle be ?

Engineering and the proving grounds had to make sure the engine and trans would function in these kinds of environments.
So some.factory trans pans had baffles?

Here is a pan that was on a customer’s trans.
I think someone with a dull axe made it. It worked but I “fixed” it. Took this old baffle out and replaced it with just a 2” wide piece from side to side. dull axe indeed. i understand now what you were trying to tell me. thank you sir. so on a three inch deep [or so] pan, the baffle should be roughly 1" below the pan rail surface ? Baffle has to be lower than valve body. Measure from pan rail to valve body bolt, whatever it is add maybe 1/4” and you should be good. This way whatever gasket you use you shouldn’t get in trouble.
