Wich servos should I get? I heard billets are better, but I like the price of the vettes. Ill be spraying a 50 shot out of the hole with 4.10's, street tires are eagle gt2's that are 29'' tall, 275 wide. I have some 15x10'' wheels and some 26x10'' slicks. would the slicks be too harsh right now? Info please Im buying up parts right now.
Nothing holds like the billet servos do but if money is an issue the vette servos are good and about $60 less each. Your limiting factor will be the condition of your existing clutches in the transmission and how strong your driveshaft is, if you can hook up you'll get some awesome 60' times.
Are the billets just as easy to install? And will they help keep the tranny from getting burned up? All Im worried about is the launch. I have it rpm switched to not spray during shifts, except the 50 shot.
Yes. They are just as easy to install. Greg is right, the billet ones have a larger surface area for the fluid to push, so it will grab better. But don't let that lure you away from the Vette servo. It is pretty damn good. Servos are easy as heck to install.
Nope, they're not going to keep you from burning up a worn out transmission. The whole story will be the quality of parts you have inside of it and their current condition. If the transmission has good quality part and in good condition the servos will help prevent the band from slipping but will not do anything to prevent the clutch plates inside from frying if they're marginal. A little extra transmission fluid pressure will help under WOT conditions, thats why I started putting the Transgo vacuum mod kits in transmissions I work on.
4L60-E.com the Ultimate 4L60E Performance Website. I found this site. Wich ones should I get? And do yall have a better price on these?
That's transmissioncenter.net out of the Shreveport area and I run their #1 and #3X servos in 60e transmissions. Its your money, spend it how you like. Either way you'll have an improved shift.
do I need the longer pin If I get #1 and #3x?
if you need a longer pin you need to have the band replaced in your transmission. I've never had to replace the pin to get the correct amount of engagement/travel. A longer pin is a bandaid for worn parts.
sweet thanx... Im ordering those. Anything else?
There's a procedure for checking proper pin length but it's only needed if something went wrong inside.
Here is what I found: YouTube - GM Automatic Transmission 2-4 Servo Install-Rebuild Video
The guy narrating it, sounds like one of the guys from "King of the Hill". At least that is what I always think of when I watch it.
OMG!
The guy doesn't show the cushion spring swap inside the inner piston, uses a brush to contaminate the bore with hair (LOL), and beats the cover on with a freakin' hammer. What a douche.
LOL
And he assembled it WITH the orings in place when checking the pin stroke distance. The stroke distance he lists on the video is way lose, too.
Good call Greg.
