I really want to put on some transmission mods, but was wondering if switching to a larger pan will void my warrenty? Hard for ford to void my warrenty for having a ford part wouldn't it?

 

They'll order it and install it for you if you want. No worries.

they will order it and put it in but I don't think that ford will waranty it.

 

How can Ford even attempt to argue that a Factory Part used on heavier models of the same tranny caused a failure when put on? Anyone making that argument needs a mention in the "strapped to a chair and beat with a hammer" thread.
This is one "mod" I'm pretty confident is warrenty friendly, even if your dealer is a real weiner about these things.

And anyhow, most dealers would have to really be paying attn to even know it's wasn't the stock pan, most 4R100s get a deep pan anyhow.
Or you could go to the dealer that says a certain problem is common on the Cobras w/ automatics and Lightnings. I was under the impression that they ain't no such animal as a Corbra with an automatic.

factory tech, I have some questions, shoot me and emil, i here your the man to talk to on trannys.

 

Most dealerships dont even know what a lightning is. Don't even think of asking about Cobra R parts, but thats a different story. No Ford mechanic in America will know that the pan didn't come on it.
