Got The Corvette Servo Installed Today!

stadt11 · November 3, 2008

I put the Corvette Servo in today 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!

haha should have explained my question better...

My 4L60E in my 99 doesnt shift like your old one did before the servo... Do you think that it will make a difference? My truck barks in second right now..

I think the servo does the best job with the 2 through 4 shifts, holds them much better than stock! If you would like to improve this area, I say go for it, heck it's only $18.

I love my shifts. Nothing like being lunged into your seat every time you shift from 1 to 2. It even chirps the tires when it's cold because it will not shift until 1800~ rpm. The line pressure should probably be turned down a bit...
