Adds a drain plug to the GM 6L80 and 6L80E transmission pan so you can drain and refill fluid without dropping the pan; includes the filter and gasket.
A dented, rusted or leaking 6L80 pan is a common find under 2007-2019 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon trucks, usually after years of road salt, a floor jack set in the wrong spot, or one too many pan drops that left the flange out of flat. This stamped steel replacement for the 6L80 and 6L80E fixes the leak and the service headache in one job. It matches the fit of the original 18-bolt pan, adds a threaded drain plug, and comes as a complete unit with a new filter, magnet and rubber-backed gasket. It replaces GM 24222657, 24224781, 24236933 and 29535617.
The pan is the 6L80's sump. The pump pulls fluid up through a filter that plugs into a bore in the case, pressurizes it for the valve body, clutches and torque converter, and everything drains back down into the pan. The pan flange is what keeps that fluid in. When a steel flange gets bent or distorted, the gasket can no longer hold an even clamp load and fluid creeps out at the low spots, often at the rear corners where it then drips off the crossmember and gets blamed on something else. Losing even a quart on this unit is a problem, because a low 6L80 can slip, flare or overheat long before the leak looks serious.
Clean the transmission case, pan and lines, drive the truck to full temperature and look underneath with a light. Fluid at the pan rail is the pan or gasket. Fluid at the bell housing, output shaft seal or cooler line fittings is a different repair that a pan will not solve. Check the level hot at the fill-check plug and scan for codes before buying parts. Our 6L80 service guide covers the check-plug procedure, and the 6L80 Escalade problems guide explains how leaks and low fluid show up as shift complaints.
Listed applications are 2007-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and ESV, Chevy Avalanche, Camaro, Corvette and Hummer H2, all with the 6L80 or 6L80E. Some later trucks and SUVs in this range came with an 8-speed instead, and those use a different pan. Check the RPO code on the glovebox or door label (MYC is the 6L80) and count the bolts on your old pan, which should be 18. If you want a second set of eyes, send us your year and VIN. The full lineup for this transmission is on the 6L80 shop page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
If the leak is from a bent or distorted pan flange or a failed gasket, yes. Clean and dry the area and confirm the fluid is at the pan rail and not at the cooler lines, output seal or bell housing before ordering.
It is stamped steel with an integrated drain plug, the same style as the original pan. If you want a cast pan with more capacity, look at our aluminum 6L80 pan kits.
The pan, filter, magnet, rubber-backed gasket and drain plug, which covers a complete pan and filter service.
Check the RPO code label in the glovebox or on the door. MYC means 6L80. The 8-speed units use a different pan. You can also send us the VIN and we will confirm.
GM lists about 5.7 L (6.0 qt) for a 6L80 pan and filter service. Fill, run the engine, and set the final level at the check plug with the fluid at operating temperature.
