Corvette servo install

[Egan]

Step 7: Reassemble the servo. Start by compressing the housing cover again and reinstalling the existing circlip.



Unfortunately, I was only born with 2 hands, so I had to get some help:



Next reinstall the shaft:



And then slide the new housing over the piston. Make sure the seal is lubricated and fully seated:



Next install the new red seal on the piston and reinstall the spring, washer, and clip to hold it all together:

Step 8: Reinsert the servo assembly into the transmission – make sure that spring that fell out in the beginning is in:



Step 9: : Reinstall the 4th apply piston:



Install the new blue seal on the cover and push the cover in place. Again compress the cover and reinstall the original clip. I need an extra hand to do this. I also had to reseat the assembly a couple of times to get it to fully seat.



Don’t forget to reinstall the heat shield after you check for leaks and proper operation.

First impressions are a much longer, smoother shift between 1 and 2. I'll reassess after the 12 mile drive to work tomorrow.

These guys have some pretty good **** for our trannies...few other things you can do w/ out yanking it out for 2-3 & OD. Plus 4l80 conversion kits if you realy want to say screw it.

Another great write up! This , to me, was worth paying 45.00 to have done.

Much firmer shifts. 1st lasts much longer.

There is alot of good stuff on there and most of it is surprisingly inexpensive

I assume when you refer to the 2-3 & OD, you are talking about overdrive billet servo?

well i tried to give a shot at this today, and i am stuck at step 1...well i dont have a heatshield to remove...

i can not get the housing to compress to remove the clip.
when you compress it, is the amountit compresses noticable, or are we talking thousandths of a inch here?

i tried using a pry bar.. that wasnt working and moved up to a crowbar.
i can get leverage on it, it just is not moving at all.

any thoughts?

It's definitely worth the money. With the right amount of throttle the first gear pulls well and shifts smoothly.
