Fcp euro also has the deeper updated transmission pan for sale.
According to some youtuber "Mercedes Source", the deeper pan is needed to accommodate a thicker updated transmission filter.

Yeesh, that's a lot to go through just to get more filter and fluid capacity. Just change the fluid often.

Very good advice! This type of knowledge usually comes from someone after they don’t do maintenance and then replace a tranny! 😂
​​​​​​ Replacing a transmission pan during regular maintenance is a very easy and simple job. Anybody that tows should look into this option.
