    is there not anything special that you have to do when you do the vette servo. i don't know much about it, but i was always under the impression that it required a tune or something to work right. my tranny does the same thing. 1-2 shift not so much, but the kick down bothers me. if you mash the pedal, it almost always kicks down to 2nd, which depending on the speed, can make the engine rev to 5000+ rpm. when this happens, it immediately will shift back up to 3rd. it just seems that this is real harsh on the tranny, not to mention i don't like revving the engine that high considering it's pushing 200K and still all stock. did the vette servo do anything for you there?
    i have always thought it would have to be tuned to fix that.

    I havent tried the kickdown yet from 4th but I will and then get back to you. Ever since I read about how hard it is on the trans, I will from now on manually pull it into 3rd first. The truck feels like a new truck. Been driving it around all day lovin the better shifts.

    yea, let me know. i'm not worried about being able to install it, and they are only 10 or 15 bucks off ebay. what about towing? during the summer i do a fair amount of towing our boat to the lake, about 150-200 miles round trip. how would the vette servo effect my towing, if at all?
