Would really like those rear seat back covers but I have a 2 door and for some reason they leave those out (don’t like the plasticy ones out there and my seat backs are getting full of dog hair). Any chance on making the 2 door backs @Daniela at 3W Auto Life ?

I would prefer a complete set including the rear seat back cover…but for a 2 door…unfortunately you don’t offer that though…

I just did the BDS because I was having the same problem. Beyond just the fact that they locate the pins, they are WAY easier to torque correctly without throwing off alignment and am willing to bet that has the most impact on keeping things from moving. I think many times alignment shops...

Add another tally mark for me please!!! 2 door fully convertible soft top…and manual please not interested in the etop (if you can do an electric surely you can do a manual…)

I took a look at mine and even the back studs are seated fine. In the below pics you can see I have similar marks on the pan but think it’s from the socket rubbing the pan when installing and not the bolt itself. Maybe you got a bad pan? Even though the studs worked fine if I had the regular...

Was it just your back ones? I have a picture of one on the side and it looks seated well (below). I don’t have a picture of the back ones but will definitely double check them all when I get home.

I ended up using the studs on the deep pan (I misordered the bolts), they fit fine and the recesses in the pan were different depending on if the bolt was a stud or not so it seems PPE accounted for this. Only thing I’d say is you might need a deep thinner walled socket but i didn’t have any...

So finally got the deep PPE pan installed. Took me all day today (with some breaks to get a Christmas tree) but all in all there weren’t many surprises on the install and went smoothly, just time consuming to do it right. The hardest parts are the parts you would need to do on any trans fluid...

Thanks for the clarification! I’ll probably install in the next week or two, just waiting on a few bolts to replace the studs per @CarbonSteel’s suggestion. I’m paranoid about the bolt torque after breaking one installing my diff cover. I didn’t over tighten and despite following carbon’s...

That’s what I thought, seems straightforward (maybe tight though). Was surprised @Nc211 said he needed to lift the trans to install and wondered if there was something I was missing, or maybe something with the deep PPE pan I was missing.

Getting ready to install the PPE deep pan but haven’t seen I would need to lift the trans to get the it in (I’ve read through the workshop manual specs for the stock pan but maybe there is something different about the PPE?) Did you do this to get the bolts in easier with the exhaust there or...

Perfect, thanks!

Been lurking on your threads for a while and have changed all my fluids but trans thanks to your suggestions. I’m at about 7500 miles now and have the PPE deep pan ready to put in to hopefully help with temps but worried about the stud bolts now (don’t quite see the issue yet but trust your...

I’m just north of Boston, are you able to pick up? Send me a message if interested. Thanks!

I can’t meet with the tires unfortunately, don’t think 5 would fit in my 2 door and don’t have a trailer.
