Removing Vette Servo

So I am getting the clunk in the drive line and I have regreased the slip yoke with GM's lube and changed the transfer case fluid and I am still getting the clunk. I am not getting any super firm, or funny shifts though. I thought about taking out the vette servo and making sure all the o-rings and seals are seated correctly and not pinched or lined up.

 

Can I do this without tearing one of the o-rings? Do you think it's even worth it to check if I'm not having any unusual shifts or slipping?

 

As I said, I'm not getting any funny shifts or slipping and when I installed it about a year ago, everything slid in just fine without binding so I'm pretty sure that none of the seals or o-rings were pinched. If they did slip off or pinch, I would assume that I wouldn't have been able to get the servo in the housing.

 

I bought it from Oregon Performance, can you order just the seals and o-rings from the kit?

 

Thanks

Or visit a local trans shop. They will sell them

I don't think there is any way you will get the cover off without destroying the o-ring.

I did. You have to stretch the O-Ring quite a bit to get it to shrink in dia and it will come out. I thought I destroyed mine when I did it, but it came right back to shape and there were no signs of damage so I re-used it. I did order a new one from Oregon Performance though, just in case it starts leaking. So far, so good. This way I will have one if I ever decide to put the stock one back in (i.e. if I sell the truck).

 

That said. OP, I seriously doubt you have any damaged or pinched seals or you would be experiencing more severe shifting issues.

Oh, that's right, I did get it from you.... :rolleyes: Damn, I am getting old. :lol:

 

I did e-mail Oregon Performance about one and they gave me a part # and a quote. But your price was better. :rolleyes:

 

Thanks again Don! :cool:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
