I don't see the drain plug on the bottom, sticking out to far grabbing anything as there are a lot more things that would get snagged on something first. The extra fluid alone has to be good for the tranny, just for cooling purposes.
Renegade,

You did put the crossmember back, right?

I think I saw a picture of that B&M deep pan and it did not appear to be tapered toward the rear of the transmission. I also saw a picture that showed the pan was tapered so I think some damned salesperson just picked any picture and put it with the description of the pan. I hate when they do that.

Is the B&M pan completely flat on the bottom?

Does your B&M pan look like this?
