vette servo?

[SecretAgent420]

I understand that a vette servo will make harder shifts but does it really work and were does it go and were does it go

[MrCoffee]

you understand correcty
yes it works
it goes in the trans, in place of our servo, holds more fluid. Its real cheap.

yeah i just bought the transgo shift kit/corvette servo since apparently everyone buys those 2 at once (so i jumped right in and di the same thing!).

I was searching the message board a couple days ago and i found a post about the corvette servo not actually doing anything or something like that. I guess i'll find out in a week or so.

The servo is for a more firm 1-2 shift. I know Jet has some servos that work on other shift points.

is it easy to put in the servo or should I get it put in and were do i get one

For my 98 it was a pain to get the servo out. I had to drop the tranny to let it sit on the engine mounts that way I could get the servo out. All you need to is drop it 4" and you will be fine. It's easy to drop the tranny if you don't let us know and I am sure I am not the only one that will reply to your question. But you should get the servo and the TransGo at the same time. I got both of mine for $109 plus shipping. If I find the site Ill post it. Oh yea and servos usually run about $15 if you look around.

this is what i got last week:

Transgo kit = $113 from AMMS shipped.
Servo = $21 ebay shipped.

I got mine for an 87 700R4 from Art Carr, and yes it was a good addition, it also has a higher fluid capacity than the vette style and increases the 2-3 holding pressure which I felt immediately, I'm not sure if the newer OD's have a throttle boost valve like the 700, but if they do, pick up the larger one with a .500 relief orfice and it'll be bangin shifts safely.

Yes, the corvette servo works. I believe it applies on all 4 gears, I'll have to double check. Anyhoo, the basic theory behind it is that it has a larger frontal area than our stock one. Larger frontal area means more pressure without boosting the line pressure, so it applies and holds harder. I had one installed when I had my tranny rebuilt, and it makes a definite difference.
