RARAYC TF289 shallow oil pan Transmission Filter Kit for

This kit includes a pre-aligned filter head, a felt-media filter element, a compression-molded sealing gasket and a shallow stamped pan engineered for 4L60E applications that use a 16-bolt pan pattern. It’s built to trap metal particles while maintaining serviceable fluid flow and to simplify pan swaps during routine maintenance or when installing shift kits and other performance upgrades.

How do I confirm this pan fits my 4L60E transmission?

Check the oil pan bolt count and the pan depth. The TF289 is a shallow pan designed specifically for 4L60E transmissions with a 16-bolt pattern; it will not fit deep-pan configurations.

• Verify your transmission uses the 4L60E model.
• Count the pan bolts — this kit fits 16-bolt shallow pans only.
• Compare pan depth to confirm shallow vs. deep design.
• Cross-reference replacement numbers TF289, FT1146A, 24236799, 24200796, 24229186, 25174487.

What filtration performance can I expect from the felt media filter?

The included felt-media filter captures fine debris down to about 25 microns while allowing robust fluid circulation to preserve shifting performance. It balances particle capture with a rated flow to avoid starving the valve body.

• Particle capture down to approximately 25 microns.
• Maintains roughly 12.5 gallons-per-minute fluid flow under normal conditions.
• Designed to trap metal shavings common during rebuilds or heavy towing use.
• Compatible with performance upgrades like shift kits where extra protection is needed.

How difficult is installation and what tools are required?

Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic hand tools. The filter head is pre-aligned and the gasket is compression-molded to reduce leaking and to shorten installation time to about 15 minutes for pan swaps.

• Basic hand tools (ratchet, sockets, torque wrench recommended).
• Pre-aligned filter head reduces alignment steps.
• Compression-molded gasket minimizes need for sealants.
• Typical pan swap time about 15 minutes for experienced DIYers or mechanics.

Which vehicles are known to be compatible with this kit?

The TF289 shallow pan fits a wide range of GM vehicles that use the 4L60E shallow 16-bolt pan. It also fits many models across Buick, Cadillac, Chevy and GMC families and several other makes that used GM transmissions.

• Cadillac: Escalade 1999–2006, Fleetwood 1995–1996.
• Chevy: Silverado 1500 (1999–2013), Silverado 2500 variants, Express vans 1997–2014, Suburban 1500/2500 years listed.
• Buick: Rainier 2005–2007, Roadmaster 1993–1996.
• Also used in many GMC, Isuzu, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Saab models with 4L60E shallow pans.

Who is this for: The RARAYC TF289 kit is intended for DIY mechanics, professional technicians and vehicle owners who are servicing or rebuilding 4L60E transmissions that require a shallow 16-bolt pan. It’s especially useful for those performing performance upgrades, installing shift kits, restoring older GM vehicles, or anyone who wants improved debris capture during normal and heavy-duty use. Confirm pan bolt pattern and shallow pan depth before ordering to ensure fitment and avoid returns.
