Transmission pickup tube length.

My 1009 seems to require more warm up before the tranny gets up and moves. The last trans oil change, i noticed the filter didn't really hang on to the pickup tube. I added an extra o-ring, and it seemed to help- but was still a little slow to build pressure on cold days.

I'm getting ready to change filter and oil. Just looked at the TM. It says the tube should be:8 PAOZZ 11862 8629526 TUBE,BENT,METALLIC. Metallic. I looked and I find metallic tubes for deep and shallow pans. I think the one I have installed is plastic though. The 8629526 part number comes back as plastic.

Which one is correct? If metal is specified, and plastic is what I have, it may answer some questions about poor pickup performance, and the need to add a second o-ring.

Do I need deep or shallow pan in metal or plastic?

Well in my 08 the tube for the filter is plastic and it sticks in the filter pretty good. My trans would pull as soon you cranked it until the clutches went out.

My thought is the transmission is getting tired and needs a few seals replaced. I had that same problem on my Mule M1009 and it works fine now after having the transmission gone over at a transmission shop. The seals were hard and some were gone. Made a huge difference after the rebuild. Mine has a plastic pickup tube on the corner of the filter/screen also. That is not any different then a steel one other then material. It is old and needs attention. Good Luck.
