mine has a "hump" for the cross over, or you can always get your ORY extended and fabbed like mine. It's a regular pacesetter ORY, that has extentions on it. Flows great!

So happy my fluid is all nice and clear red. Had the damned-ess time trying to figured out why that grayish gunk was in the bottom of the pan... damn clutches.

My trans pan bolt is rounded also. Dunno what genius engineer decided that was a cool option. A plug like the oil pan plug would've sufficed.

mine was so tight on my last truck that it felt like it was welded on there, some way on my dads new dmax/allison

i havent even looked on my new truck since it has over 160k on stock 60e with stock fluid

I wish I had that ORY setup, but, I don't. That would make my life simple. Come to think of it, a deep pan prolly won't clear, unless someone is sure that it'll clear a pacesetter LT/ORY setup. Where can I find one of those? If i'm doing the work, I might as well put the deep pan on there, with a trans temp guage.

Do any of the vendors have them? FLT maybe?

My bolt wouldn't come out either so i just dropped the pan. As far as a trans temp gauge you should just switch clusters.

about yalls bolts can you use one of them easeout sockets for rounded bolts
you would have to replace it after that but it might work to get it out

I just used the best 6 point socket I had and a long handle...
notching it with a small cutting disc to help get the current one out with a large flat head will prolly work...one of those stripped head removing sockets would prolly work too..
in regards to the pan...my stock deep pan won't clear the stock y-pipe...I just can change the filter by removing all of the bolts and letting it rest on the y-pipe...
