Default Any deeper A4 trans pans for C5's?

Does anyone know of a company selling deeper transmission oil pans for the C5's? I know not just any pan will due since the A4 does'nt have a dip stick but rather the inspection port bolt. If not maybe its possible to buy a regular 4L60-E pan and measure down the correct distance and professionally drill and weld a hung for the bolt.

Thanks,
Aaron Lephart

I thought about a deeper, finned pan to aid in cooling, but have not found one. I also worry about ground clearance on a lower pan. I'm sure you could put in a drain plug if that is all you want. I would rather just change the filter each time I change the fluid, so I would leave the stock pan.

Great question Aaron.

I do know that there are two different stock pans from my filter buying experiences...a deep and a shallow.

I too would also like to be able to drain the oil.

Any one know the cost of a deep pan off hand and if installing a drain bolt is possible?

Also a very healthy and happy year 202 (202 vs Z06? LOL).
