<h3>B&M Racing & Performance: Seven Decades of Drivetrain Innovation</h3><p><strong>B&M Racing & Performance</strong> has been shaping the automotive aftermarket since the early 1950s, when founders Bob Spar and Mort Schuman combined their initials to create a brand that would redefine how performance enthusiasts interact with their vehicles. What began as a small operation focused on improving automatic transmission performance grew into one of the most decorated names in motorsport and street performance history.</p><p>From the very start, B&M operated on a simple philosophy: racers building products for racers. In the 1950s, the brand pioneered the use of a performance-reinforced Hydramatic transmission for racing. A decade later, B&M developed the automatic shifters that would become legendary on drag strips across the country, and soon after introduced race converters that helped push the sport forward. By 1965, a B&M-equipped automatic transmission was at the wheel of the first 200 mph Top Fuel run in history — a milestone that cemented the brand's place in racing lore.</p><p>Today, B&M's lineup spans a broad range of drivetrain performance products, all engineered around the same commitment to precision and durability that built the brand's reputation. The iconic <a href="/65-bm-manual-transmission-shifter-assembly-20988">manual transmission shifter assemblies</a> remain among B&M's most celebrated products, with models like the Ratchet Shifter and QuickSilver Shifter delivering positive mechanical gear engagement that serious drivers trust. Whether you're rowing through gears on a classic muscle car or piloting a modern performance build, B&M's shifters are engineered for zero ambiguity at every gear selection.</p><p>Beyond shifters, B&M is widely recognized for its cast deep aluminum <a href="/65-bm-automatic-transmission-oil-pan-8546">automatic transmission oil pans</a>, which increase fluid capacity to help manage heat during hard use — a critical consideration for towing, racing, or any high-stress application. The brand's <a href="/65-bm-differential-cover-2306">differential covers</a> follow the same design philosophy, offering added strength and improved fluid capacity for axle housings across a wide range of popular GM, Ford, and Chrysler platforms.</p><p>B&M is now part of the Holley family of brands, giving enthusiasts access to even more integration between B&M's drivetrain expertise and Holley's broader performance ecosystem. Through every era of automotive performance, B&M has remained at the forefront — not by chasing trends, but by setting them.</p><ul><li>Legendary Ratchet Shifters and QuickSilver automatic shifters</li><li>Precision manual shifters for street and race applications</li><li>Cast deep aluminum transmission pans for increased fluid capacity</li><li>Performance differential covers for GM, Ford, and Chrysler axles</li><li>Torque converters, shift kits, flexplates, and transmission coolers</li><li>Products engineered for street, strip, truck, Jeep, and off-road use</li></ul>

Product Details

The B&M Hi-Tek Deep Transmission Pan is engineered to improve transmission cooling and longevity through increased fluid capacity and advanced heat dissipation. Constructed from lightweight cast aluminum, this deep pan adds an extra 2 quarts of transmission fluid capacity, helping to reduce operating temperatures and extend transmission life.

Key Features:

  • Adds 2 additional quarts of fluid capacity for improved cooling
  • Internal and external fin design maximizes heat dissipation
  • Integrated drain port with magnetic drain plug for easy maintenance and debris collection
  • Includes temperature sensor port for monitoring transmission temps
  • Comes complete with fluid pickup extension and gasket for proper installation
  • Cast aluminum construction for strength and weight savings
  • Backed by lifetime limited warranty

The Hi-Tek pan's finned design provides superior cooling compared to stock pans by increasing surface area for better heat transfer. The magnetic drain plug captures metal particles during fluid changes, while the sensor port allows for precise temperature monitoring. This pan is ideal for performance applications, towing, or any situation where transmission temperatures need to be controlled.

great job

Great

Easy and fast checkout

So far, so good!

Easy to find item needed

Price and delivery time were good. Product was fair, not as good as original. But I expected this.

Excellent. Exactly as shown, just what I needed. Quick delivery. Great price.

Quick and easy. Hopefully the item that arrives is as ordered!

Found this store thru a google search. Had good reviews so I went for it. Liked that they have google checkout. Email notification was great, tracking number was there. Last but not least they had the best price for my Airaid intake tube.

We ordered a Thule 9003 Raceway 2-bike rack for my 2011 Honda Civic and it arrived in 2 days. We were very surprised at the fast service. I also had my thoughts that it wouldn't be the exact name brand product I was looking for and a off brand but the same type and I have to say it was exactly the product I wanted. The price was great too. I researched several dealers and Autoplicity was the lowest price at $100 less than others and that included the shipping. I would definitely order from Autoplicity again.

Excellent service, incredibly fast shipping and delivery. Would DEFINITELY do business with again.

easy peasy

Recently placed an order for some head studs for my car. They were much less expensive at autoplicity than elsewhere. I was surprised I hadn't heard anything back after a couple days, but was reassured that orders are processed within 24 business hours (3 days), not 24 hours (which I misread in my confirmation email). Just received a shipping confirmation with a tracking number today.

They made a mistake with the shipping address, but, they took care of it very politely and professionally. Very nice. Thanks.
