    Vette Servos?

    This is probably a dumb question but how much do vette servos really help? I see a lot of you guys running them so they have to help out somewhat? Where do you find them? What do they work best with?

    They add more fluid volume to the 2-4 band apply push rod to make for a stronger hold. It adds strength to hold 2nd and 4th gear clutch apply with less chance of the band slipping.

    So should I even consider putting them on at this point or would they be something for down the road?

    I would say any performance vehicle needs the vette servos minimum. Higher performance vehicle with power adders need the billet servos.

    Yeah...sold it 5 months ago. how hard are they to put on? would I need to re-tune after putting them on?

    As for putting them on, i had very little room to do it, and messing with my tranny isnt something i liked doing, so i had someone do it for 50 bucks. As for the shift difference, its noticible but nothing neck snapping.

    Yes--do a Corvette servo. I have seen them as cheap as $12 on Ebay. They take about 20 minutes to do. VERY, very easy. Just make sure you have a 2' pry bar and a small flat head screw driver.
