aFe Ford E4OD/4R100/5R110 Transmission Pan - Black

Transmission-specific fluid service

The aFe 46-70122-1 transmission pan is for the specified specified E4OD / 4R100 / 5R110-family automatic transmission; exact engine, case and boxed pan revision required application. Black cast-aluminum transmission pan with machined cooling fins. Manufacturer documents describe added capacity but disagree by revision: the newer manual illustrates five to eight quarts extra, while the legacy sheet states seven and one-half extra. Verify the boxed assembly rather than treating one figure as universal.

Key Features

• Black cast-aluminum transmission pan with machined cooling fins. Manufacturer documents describe added capacity but disagree by revision: the newer manual illustrates five to eight quarts extra, while the legacy sheet states seven and one-half extra. Verify the boxed assembly rather than treating one figure as universal.
• Match the actual transmission case, pan pattern, fluid and hardware.
• Set transmission fluid level using the correct Ford procedure and dipstick.
• Manufacturer states this transmission pan does not require a CARB EO number.

Fitment

46-70122-1: The exact current primary installation document supports original F-250/F-350 1994-1997 7.3L and 1999-2010 diesel ranges with separate 7.3L, 6.0L and 6.4L headings. The manufacturer legacy document explicitly also names E4OD, correcting the later cover's generalized 4R100/5R110 naming for earlier trucks. The missing 2005 year is restored within each original F-250/F-350 later range, supported by the primary 2004-2007 6.0L range and exact-part retailer tables. Actual transmission and engine still govern; a trim/model is not proof of gearbox. F-450 engine/year inconsistencies in the newer manual, broader Excursion and earlier retailer claims require separate proof and are not newly mapped. An exact current product detail page was not located; exact manufacturer manuals provide the documented facts, with boxed-revision differences expressly retained.

Specifications

What's Included

• The newer exact twelve-page manual lists one black pan 05-60917B, RTV silicone, twenty M8 x 1.25 x 20 screws, twenty M8 washers, M12 x 1.25 magnetic drain plug/crush washer, one 1/8-inch NPT plug and one actual 44-TF011 transmission filter. The raw finish in the family table is an alternative, not a second pan. Unlike generic inclusion claims on other pans, a filter is expressly listed here.
• For the newer assembly, the bottom drain is magnetic M12 x 1.25 with crush washer and the small port takes the supplied 1/8-inch NPT plug. The January 2015 older assembly instead lists a 3/4-inch NPTF magnetic drain and an O-ring. No temperature sensor, coupler or fluid is established as included; confirm actual threads and boxed revision before choosing optional fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Black cast-aluminum transmission pan with machined cooling fins. Manufacturer documents describe added capacity but disagree by revision: the newer manual illustrates five to eight quarts extra, while the legacy sheet states seven and one-half extra. Verify the boxed assembly rather than treating one figure as universal. Transmission requirement: specified E4OD / 4R100 / 5R110-family automatic transmission; exact engine, case and boxed pan revision required.

The raw finish in the family table is an alternative, not a second pan. Unlike generic inclusion claims on other pans, a filter is expressly listed here.

For the newer documented assembly, align the suitable original OEM gasket or use supplied RTV around every bolt hole as directed. The January 2015 legacy sheet instead describes an oiled O-ring in a pre-cut groove, twenty M8 x 25 screws plus eight shorter M8 x 20 alternatives at marked blind holes, and a 3/4-inch NPTF drain. Inspect actual boxed parts and use their matching full instruction set; do not combine the legacy O-ring/long screws with the newer RTV/M12 assembly. No numerical RTV cure interval is given.

The newer manual illustrates five to eight quarts above stock and about eleven to fourteen overall, with a warmed, running truck in neutral and a fifty-mile recheck. The legacy sheet instead states seventeen quarts overall/seven and one-half extra and a separate two-person cold lower-full-mark procedure. These are materially different revision instructions, not interchangeable universal capacities. Use the actual transmission's specified fluid and the matching boxed/Ford level procedure; do not blindly pour either published total.

Both documents give 12-16 ft-lb for pan mounting screws in a crisscross pattern. For the newer M12-drain assembly only, the manual specifies about one-half turn past finger tight for the drain/crush washer and 1.5-3 turns past finger tight for its sealed 1/8-inch NPT plug, without bottoming. The legacy 3/4-inch NPTF-drain sheet instead prints 30 in-lb for its plugs. Do not mix drain values across revisions or force long screws into shallow blind holes.

The newer manual requires removing the old transmission filter and checking that its seal came out; remove a retained seal carefully without scratching the surface. Install the actual supplied 44-TF011 filter aligned front to back, then lift the front of the pan into place first to align with the filter. Legacy longer-screw instructions warn that bottoming in shallow holes can damage the case/pump bore; match the actual boxed hardware.

For the newer assembly, the bottom drain is magnetic M12 x 1.25 with crush washer and the small port takes the supplied 1/8-inch NPT plug. The January 2015 older assembly instead lists a 3/4-inch NPTF magnetic drain and an O-ring. No temperature sensor, coupler or fluid is established as included; confirm actual threads and boxed revision before choosing optional fittings. Cool the vehicle, park level, block the tires and support it safely. For the newer documented assembly, drain through the original plug where present and refit that plug before lowering. Remove eighteen original pan bolts, leave the front two loosened for controlled draining, break the seal and lower level after removing the final two. Retain/inspect the original gasket where applicable, clean without gouging, remove the old filter and its seal, and install the actual supplied filter. Trial-fit front first, select the matching gasket or RTV procedure and fit four corner screws/washers plus the remaining sixteen. Tighten the mounting screws in a crisscross pattern and fit only the matching drain/port hardware. Follow the correct boxed/Ford fluid-level procedure and inspect leaks. Legacy O-ring, long-screw, NPTF drain and cold-level instructions belong to that older assembly, not a combined procedure.
