Transmission Fluid Pan Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Upgraded Version
Transmission Fluid Pan Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Upgraded Version
This is a worked specification for transmission fluid pan in a upgraded 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 upgraded version version exists because the duty cycle on workshop replacements 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 | Workshop Replacements |
| Version | Upgraded Version |
| Base material | ABS Plastic |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | zinc plated |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — ABS Plastic, 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
- assembly line testing
- electroplating
- precision stamping
- surface grinding
- robot welding
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run upgraded version most often specify this build for workshop replacements. Related applications include agricultural trailers, off-road bikes, three-wheelers, scooter fleets, municipal fleets.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
