TH400 Filter Tube/Bolt

[Pierre]

Recently I decided to switch to a Derale 14201 transmission pan. After deciding this I have now realized I need a "stock" or "shallow" transmission filter tube and bolt. Any chance anyone knows where to source these or what the actual length of tube/bolt I need is?

So the derale pan holds less fluid than a factory deep pan?

I was thinking you just get rid of the filter extension and bolt spacer for normal stock shallow pan depth for a th400

Holds the same amount of fluid I believe. There are just tubes in the bottom of the pan for cooling that prevents the filter extension.

Getting rid of the filter extension means there is no filter tube at all then. The filter would then just be floating around in there?

Ah yea.

My bad. I'm thinking of a th350 filter extension. It flush mounts to the trans with no extension, whereas the 400 still has a tube, just a shorter tube.

My bad!

Some of the filters also have the tube made into them for the shallow pan

The tube in that amazon link I believe is for the deep pan which Is going to be to long. I need a "shallow" one which I cant seem to find anywhere. Never thought of using a filter with a tube built in I will have to look into that. Thanks!

Look for a tube for a Chevrolet car application, most are shallow pans.

Thank you!

I found one on ebay just like that but included the bolt as well. Should be what I need.
