Transmission Fluid Pan Specification Example for City Buses: Waterproof Version
Transmission Fluid Pan Specification Example for City Buses: Waterproof Version
This is a worked specification for transmission fluid pan in a waterproof version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The waterproof version version exists because the duty cycle on city buses is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.

Example specification
| Item | Transmission Fluid Pan |
|---|---|
| Application | City Buses |
| Version | Waterproof Version |

| Compliance | CCC |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Neoprene, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- rubber vulcanisation
- assembly line testing
- cold forging
- powder coating
- heat treatment
- die casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run waterproof version most often specify this build for city buses. Related applications include emergency vehicles, passenger cars, export programmes, light trucks, scooter fleets.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the CCC-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
