vette servos

[s10blazerman4x4]

So how did you make out installing your servo?

So this mod will give faster, smother shifts? I see that it's usually done in combo w/a shift kit but can it be done as a stand alone project??

I haven't done it yet... I can't seem to be able to find or get the retaining ring out. I already have the hypertech shifting upgrade so my shifts are already noticably quick and haven't bothered yet...

Reason i ask is im getting extra money together for work to do on it over the summer and have been gathering research and knowlege on this and am gonna go w a B&M shift kit with the vette servo.

hahaha, you won't need much for the servo, I got mine for $7, I wouldn't spend much more than that...

The hypertech programming has my shifts tight right now. I'm a little afraid it will be too harsh with the servo.

Will easily give improvement as a stand alone mod.

For the cost of a rebuild and what not you should just dump a v8 into it!

Hey guys,

I finally got my servo in! It took alot more than 10 minutes (an hour and a half), but it should have only taken a half an hour if the stupid snap clips would cooperate.

The shifts are quicker. You can definetely tell at half throttle. I have the Hypertech tuning so my shifts were already pretty good. I had one chance to try it at full throttle and it was scary quick- It almost felt like a turbo was kicking in on the shift (well maybe not). I'm happy it's done!

You better reduce the hypertech shifting firmness or you could be upping the fluid pressure too high and causing damage.

Yeah I was going to deprogram it anyways I'll let you know what happens.
