HD2 shift kit install questions

[kewljay223]

well i didnt get to do too much on it today. some other things came up. but i was able to get the diagonal hole drilled. man that is nerveracking for a first timer! thanks allen for the tip on using the metal. i ended up using a spare peice of sheet metal that i clamped into place. i actually had to adjust it once because it dug through. i cant believe the online video says to put some electrical tape around the bit.... WTF!? do they really think that is going to do anything????

i also got the fliter parts replaced and of course it had to be ground down... as far as ive seen, everybody on here has had to do that.... are there some models that dont require it? why dont they just make the plug a bit shorter??? idk. what do i know...

hopefully tomorrow i can get to finish it up. what am i supposed to do about the abc holes. i think im going to go with the "average" setting which is .086 what the heck bit am i supposed to use? the kit doesnt come with those 3 sizes. i assume i will be looking for one at the hardware store. what size is it? its between 5/64 and 3/32... what am i supposed to do here?

[kewljay223]

ok well after a quick search aparantly these sizes are "numbered" bits or "wire guage bits" .086 is #44 i have a couple tap sets that i will look through to see if i have one otherwise i will be heading to ace or true value to pick one up

this is probably a noon question but whats the purpose of the servo swap? i read something about firmer 1-2 shifts but i thought thats what the shift kit did. i dont understand why billet is better than stock...

the servo is able to apply more pressure on the 2nd apply.
the vette servo is perfect for stock converters.
for very loose converters, imo a shiftkit and servo is needed; maybe even a billet servo 2/4.
