Vette servo???

[brndns_hoe]

Ok, I think I'm behind the power curve on the corvette servo. I've noticed several guys have installed it. Basically, I know nothing about it. What are the benefits? oh and does it fit the 4.8? tell me whatcha know, I'm clueless lol

 

[blueflamed03]

yes, fits all 4l60E's, helps firm up the shift points, for firmer shifts...sloooooow shifts from the factory is mainly slippage, which leads to premature tranny failures.

You can get them for about $25 to $40.

 

[brndns_hoe]

good deal, thanks, any place in particular to get them at?

PS most tranny shops will install it realitively cheap, good time to change filter and fluid anyway.

So installing a corvette servo should prolong the life of the tranny?

 

[Chris]

Short answer, yup

yes sir. Firms up the shift...the lag between shifts, is smooth if your old and want comfort, but that lag is actually the clutches slipping...heat, burn, damage.

I loves mine, bought for like 15-20 from oregon performance

 

[road1will]

did all you guyys install it yourself?

 

[Chris]

I havent yet but I will be either this weekend or next week, just be sure to seat the snap ring correctly when installing it. Heres a pretty good video, of course you wont need to remove the trans this is just to show you.

I took it in to have the tranny shop do it, change filter, and replace fluid...that's when they saw all the dust in the pan....so complete tranny rebuild...lucky I had 100% warranty

I did mine and am OK with it.

The biggest pains were the lack of room but it will come out and go in if yer sneaky, getting the servo cover off (mine was at 140k miles), and lastly getting all the parts lined up correctly and compressing the servo cover back on enough to get the snap ring seated all the way.

Take your time, think each move through and confirm each step when done and it's no big deal.
