Got The Corvette Servo Installed!, Shifting is much smoother

[stadt11]

Got the Corvette Servo that I received from Oregon Performance Transmission.

The install wasn't too bad. Took me about 30 minutes to get the old one out and the new one put back together, then it took me 30 minutes to get the d@mn snap-ring back in (29 minutes of persuading it in & 1 minute after realizing I didn't have the servo cover pushed in all the way

). That thing is a b!tch.

After driving it around the city and on the highway, the shifting is much better! Feels like a new transmission, doesn't feel like it falls-on-its-face when it shifts into 2nd. It also holds the shifting between 2-4 longer and makes it more smooth.

@ WOT from a dead-stop, I can almost bark the tires when it shifts into 2nd. Should be even better after my Black Bear tune this Saturday!

IMHO, this is the best upgrade for the 4L60e tranny!

If you haven't done this to your tranny yet (or are skeptical about messing with the tranny), don't be, I was also causious when doing this. I had 1 website & 2 YouTube videos open while I installed it and they were very useful!

Thanks, Andy! I should have mine by the end of next week, I would think.

Mine is on the way here. This servo should hold me over (mod wise) until I get the tune.

Are you doing the install yourself?

Should we do this Carl? I'm game if you are. We could get Andy to come help us and You, Matt and I could get this done in one day and drink some beer.

It would make for a great thread too.

I'm sure I could...but...

Sounds good...but once the servo gets here...I am going to have a very hard time keeping it in the box...

I think I will order mine too and just put it in. If the tune makes it shift too hard, I will just put my stock TCM in and send it to Justin to tweak.

I'll also be doing the 4th Servo, I really only tow a 2-place snowmobile 3 out of the 12 months, and it would be nice to do that in 4th gear instead of it dropping down all the time.

YES!Lets do it. Where are you ordering yours from? Oregon Transmission? I'll bring the beer!
