trany pan deep or shallow
Does anyone know on a 98 stock corvette, what tranny pan, deep or shallow comes on it. Is there any way to tell before I tear into it. I ordered a deep filter but now Im not sure.

I had a '98 with an auto. When I changed the fluid it was a shallow pan. A deep pan would noticeably hang down between the exhaust pipes if you had one. Probably at least 4" deep or more.

On my 99, I thought it was deep because the filter had an extra tube going down into the bump in the pan. When i did mine i bought one from the dealer and they ordered it. It fit no problems but as i said, had the tube on the bottom of the filter. When in doubt, buy 1 of each and return unused one.

What I found out on tranny filter.....
Called the dealer because no one really knows. Guess what the dealer cant even tell me. If it is a shallow pan 2 & 11/32 deep so I have to drive it over the pit and check it first. I think the parts place ordered a deep one but am thinking it is probably a shallow. Manual states 10.5 capacity and 5 quarts with a filter. Now that should tell the dealer which pan it is by the capacity. So out to waste some time checking before I tear into it. I want it hot to drain and refill. About 108 degrees.
