It combines a low-profile stamped pan with a molded gasket and a felt filter element that traps fine metal particles without restricting flow—useful when swapping pans during routine service, rebuilding, or upgrading transmissions in vehicles that tow or see heavy duty use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know this fits my vehicle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the bolt count and vehicle compatibility before ordering. The TF289 is made for shallow-style 4L60E pans with a 16-bolt pattern and fits many GM models across Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, GMC, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Isuzu and Saab lineups listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfirm your transmission pan has 16 mounting bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommon fits include Escalade (1999–2006), Express vans (1996–2014 ranges), Silverado\/Silverado HD variants, Suburban models, Rainier, Roadmaster and select Fleetwood years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen in doubt, compare OEM part numbers TF289, FT1146A, 24236799, 24200796, 24229186, 25174487.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat filtration and flow performance does this kit provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit uses a felt media filter designed to capture small metal shavings and other debris while preserving transmission fluid flow. The design targets fine particulate removal without creating excessive pressure drop, supporting reliable lubrication under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFelt media captures contaminants down to approximately 25 microns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintains fluid flow around 12.5 GPM for consistent hydraulic operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFilter and pan combination reduces harmful debris recirculation in rebuilt or performance vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow difficult is installation and what tools do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic vehicle maintenance. The filter head arrives pre-aligned and the compression-molded gasket seats easily, so most pan swaps take about 15 minutes with simple hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTypical tools: ratchet, socket set, torque wrench, drain catch pan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-aligned filter head minimizes trial-and-error positioning and speeds assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGasket compression fit reduces risk of leaks when torqued to specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I choose this shallow pan over a deep pan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the TF289 shallow pan when your vehicle’s transmission is designed for a low-profile pan or when clearance under the vehicle is limited. Deep pans increase fluid capacity but may not fit all chassis or aftermarket crossmembers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpt for shallow pan if your original pan is low-profile with 16 bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep pans are better for added fluid volume—only use if chassis clearance allows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVerify vehicle-specific fitment to avoid return or fit issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The RARAYC TF289 kit is aimed at mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and performance builders working on 4L60E-equipped vehicles that require a shallow, 16-bolt replacement pan. It’s especially useful when rebuilding transmissions, installing shift kits, or servicing trucks and SUVs used for towing where reliable debris capture and easy installation are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does TF289 replace deep 4L60E pans?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. TF289 is a shallow 4L60E pan for 16-bolt applications; it will not replace deep-pan versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What contaminants does the filter capture?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The felt filter traps metal shavings and debris down to about 25 microns while maintaining proper fluid flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"RARAYC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55164942287191,"sku":"B0FBRQY85Z","price":32.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/rarayc-tf289-front-view-shallow-pan.jpg?v=1790354349","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/rarayc-4l60e-shallow-transmission-oil-pan-tf289-filter-kit-16-bolt-felt-media-filtration","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
