Shift kit is 350.00 and switch is around 50...

That sounds like overkill for what I’m looking at. I just want to extend the life of my tranny, IF it needs extending, not make it high performance. I’ve been told these particular tranny’s are prone to early (100K miles) failure. Plus, I don’t plan on spending that kind of coin. As Grey Silver points out, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” so I’m still wondering if I need to do this or not. I’m trying to determine the benefits as well as any potential problems of either a shift kit and/or servo. OPT has a Transgo SK 4L60E shift kit for the 1992-2004 4L60E for 40 bucks. Obviously not as high performance as others but I wonder if it would provide any benefit. OPT also has a Transgo Corvette Servo for the 700R4 (4L60), 4L60E for 12 bucks. I’ve been told these tranny’s are built for smooth shifts but this slower/smoother shift actually put excess wear on things. If a servo firms up the shifts a little I wonder if it would be a good investment. I mean I can see the merit of “If it ain’t broke…” and while it’s not acting up I’m trying to determine if there is anything I can do to keep it from getting to that point.

Thanks guys for the feedback.
