Description

This heavy duty transmission oil pan fits the Nissan RE5R05A transmission. This pan features:

• a low profile for ground clearance
• fins, aluminum construction and a bit more capacity for cooling
• a drain plug for easier maintenance

PML designed this pan for Titan trucks with clearance concerns and 350Z cars. This pan has been installed on:

• Titan trucks with skid plates
• 350Z cars
• Infiniti QX56
• Infiniti G35
• Navara

Scroll down to see installations of this pan further down on this page. Many Infiniti models and some new Hyundai vehicles use this transmission but we do not have information on interference from cross members or exhaust for all models. This pan might also work on the Nissan Fairlady.

Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra also use this transmission but we have heard that cross members that interfer with a larger pan. PML plans to work on a pan to accomodate the cross members.

Filter and Gasket Information

Image shows the inside of the pan.

The filter on the RE5R05A is a screen, and it bolts on to the valve body of the transmission so no filter supports or extentions are needed.

This transmission pan works with stock gaskets. These are usually about $25 from your local Nissan dealer. For example, the Nissan part number is 3139790X0A for 2007 and newer Titans or 3139790X00 for 2003 to 2007 Titans.

Temperature Sensor Information

The boss provided in this pan can be machined for use with aftermarket sensors and gages. Titan trucks standardly have a transmission temperature gauge that works independent of the transmission pan. If you would like PML to machine the boss on this pan for a temperature sensor, the machining charge is $40 and this option must be ordered over the phone, or the temperature sensor measurements in the order notes. The boss can accomodate 1/8 to 1/2 NPT.

PML Transmission Pan Compared to Nissan Stock Pan

Navara

Installation of the low profile PML transmission for the Nissan RE5R05A on a Navara 2.5 Diesel in Malaysia. Pan finish is the natural cast finish. The customer reported that installing the PML pan overcame the Navara's overheating problem.

The Navara is not sold in the US but it is similar to a Frontier. PML deep pan for the Nissan RE5R05A has also been installed on the Navara.

In the side view picture at the immediate left, you can see that this low profile pan does not hang below the cross member.
