Straight Fixing Plate - pressed retaining plate for the automatic transmission sump pan, straight (side) position.

The sump pan on the ZF four-speed automatic transmission is clamped rather than bolted through a flange: pressed plates sit under the screw heads and distribute the clamping load along the pan lip so the gasket is compressed evenly. This is the flat straight plate used along the sides of the pan; two are fitted per transmission, alongside the angled corner plates.

Because the plates take the full clamping load they are easily bent or cracked when the pan is removed for a fluid and filter service. A distorted plate leaves a low spot in the sealing face and the pan will weep regardless of screw torque, so any plate that is deformed, cracked or corroded should be renewed on reassembly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC5734 auto transmission sump fixing plate do?
The RTC5734 is an automatic transmission fixing plate that secures the sump or valve block to the gearbox casing. It keeps the mating faces clamped so the seal holds. Fitment covers the Defender, Discovery 1 and 2, Range Rover Classic and P38 automatics.
Which gearbox uses the RTC5734 fixing plate?
The RTC5734 fits the 4-speed automatic transmission used across the Defender, Discovery 1 and 2, Range Rover Classic and Range Rover P38. It locates the sump or valve block plate against the casing on these automatic gearboxes.
Is the RTC5734 sold singly or as a set?
The RTC5734 is sold individually. An automatic gearbox usually needs several of these plates around the sump or valve block, so check the number fitted to your Defender, Discovery or Range Rover before ordering.
