Z1's Nissan Z 9-Speed Transmission Pan Armor is a steel cover developed to protect the Jatco JR913E's plastic transmission pan, found in all automatic '23+ Z's. Made from 2mm thick stainless steel plate, this cover was designed to resist impact damage from loose rocks, sticks, and other media that may come in contact with it. All sides of the panel extend upwards from the base by 46mm, offering protection to the side walls and mounting flange of the pan. By incorporating a service panel, removal of the cover is not necessary to service the transmission. Like other Z1 products, installation is easy and requires no modifications to the pan or nearby transmission components.
Why do I need it?
Development of this panel began after experiencing a major failure on Z1 Off-Road's Frontier, equipped with the very same model Jatco 9-speed transmission. Small media kicked up by the front tire punctured the plastic transmission pan resulting in a total loss of fluid. Fortunately, we caught this before any permanent damage was done, but we realized that if this could happen on a lifted truck, what could stop it from happening to a lowered Z? The answer to that is simple; nothing. We felt that it was necessary to address this concern before it resulted in a several thousand dollar repair bill.
If you're reading this because you've already broken your pan and learned the hard way, we built a service kit that includes the pan, gasket, and fluid needed to make the repair (assuming no mechanical damage has occurred) that can be found HERE.

Installation Note: To install this pan shield, it is necessary to remove 5 transmission pan bolts. Nissan's FSM recommends the replacement of these bolts when removed, however, we have found that these bolts are generally safe to reuse unless visibly damaged or corroded. If you would like to purchase replacement bolts they can be found HERE.
