A good place for a giant pan to drain trany
Hey Guys;
Where is a good place to get a giant drain pan to service the trany.
I had one years ago but when I went thru a divorce the ex and her new boy friend stoled it along with all of my tools and everything else.
I have been looking but can't seem to locate one big enough to
drop the whole pan down in to.
This way I am not making a big mess up under the car that I will have to lay
in to put the pan back up after the filter is changed. Anyone know where I can get one at a desent price $$$. Thanks Kurt

Don't have 'em anymore, so can't measure the O.D., but this works pretty well for most liquids encountered in a garage......

Thanks Guy's;
Thats what I was looking for Tech.
I had a giant square one before, I had gotten in Vegas some where.
But that round one looks big enough to do the job.
Thanks again. Kurt

since you are taking the pan off anyway, why not just have a drain plug welded in...........saves a hassle down the road......just my .02

Home Depot and other places sell that round, plastic catch tray that is made to go under water heaters, in case the heater ruptures it retains the water and drains it off. One of those might work too, Kurt.

A deep turkey baking pan from Wally World has worked for me, but I have a couple of round enameled wash pans and an enameled rectangular refrigerator pan that I normally use.Dave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug

Thanks Guys for all the good Idea's.
The one I had before was square and about 6 inches deep
by about 2 1/2 feet wide in both directions and was galvenized.
I checked the feed store but the ones they have are way to tall.
I also like the idea of welding in a drain plug but I don't have a Aluminum
welder or a tig welder. My mig can be out fitted to do it for a pretty penny.
Maybe I'll just buy a differant pan for it with one in it already.
Iam not even sure what trany is in that 02 Suburban but it has the
automatic over drive in it. I had it rebuilt about 40 thousand miles ago
so it is due for a service.

I took a old gas tank the wide flat style and cut the top off it at the flange nice and tough and works great

Air conditioning guys have a way of bending thin sheet tin into catch trays (by folding the corners) to go under units that are installed in the attic there are no welds or sealers. I think with some planning you can do it at home.
