I posted a similar question yesterday in the Avalanche Forum for my 2006 Avalanche. In the next few weeks, I want to get myself a new B&M or Mag-Hytec deep transmission pan and a tranny cooler (flex-a-lite should work) to make sure my tranny stays cool for the summer for the Avalanche. I plan to do this before the end of June.

However, for a Saturn, I cannot find squat on replacement transmission pans for the 3.5L Honda engine or transmission coolers.

Do any of you know what might be available?

The Honda trans doesn't use a separate pan like a rwd Hydramatic.
The oil sump is part of the cast aluminum transmission housing.

As for a cooler, I'd recommend a B&M 70268.
Amazon sells them for 50 bucks.

I'd recommend changing trans oil (at least the 4.5 quarts that drains out the plug) every 30,000 miles. It's as easy as an engine oil change.
