Couldn't find an answer to this in the forums...

Do all series 1 VE 6litres have shallow transmission pans that apparently have slippage issues due to depth and air into the filter? Are there any good quality upgrade kits for a deep pan with improved filter and longer oil pickup? Any advice on whether my car has the deep or shallow pan and where I could get an upgrade kit would be appreciated, I'm in NZ but will ship in from Oz if need be.

There is only one trans kit available for these. Only difference being if it's 4spd or 6spd. VS was the only one with the two options and the deep pan was a field fix for some cars with heat issues. They started using the deeper pan as standard from VT onwards. Not sure if there is a deep pan available but hope this helps in some way.

Suggest that you consider talking toa Transmission Service 'professional' for advice.
