i have a corvette servo in mine, same with a fair few other people here on the forums. i put one in mine to stop the slipping in the box, you can buy them off ebay for around 40-50 bucks. definantly worth the money, stops the slipping and makes for a quicker and firmer shift, although im soon to be going for stage 2 shift kit, the servos like a poor mans shift kit really and are very eay to install.

Cheers guys/girls

Thanks 91_berlina, lots of help there.

I just found a web site, it was advertised at the bottom of one of the JC pages i opened. The website is Welcome To Furious Performance
It seems that they got everything, shift kits are about $186.95, Stage 2 is the same price as Stage 3.

And for corvette servo's the price range is from $35-$150....hmmm sounds very yummi!!!

I just though that I would let you know that a Stage 3 Shift kit will fully manualise your transmission, just incase you didn't already know.

corvette servo? as in brake servo or diffrent
im new to this shiftkit stuff and want to find out a bit before i get one what's better stage 1 or 2 for everday stuff?

[Grennan]

The general price range varies around the 400 mark, drive in drive out installed, thats for a stage 2. Most places will chuck in a corvette servo for no extra charge if it isnt already included in the package they use. You can buy the kits from various places for under 200. Ebay has about a billion of them.

Ask cobez what he though of his, he loved his.

In reference to "jet_pilot"'s post. If your planning on get a shift kit, i personally wouldnt settle with a stage 1 and both are generally good for street use DEPENDING on how you drive, i wouldnt get any if all you do is redline every set of lights.

[jet_pilot]

look's like stage 2 then nah i dont redline all the time (sound of a pingin v6 is horrible)
thank's grennan
could anyone explain a lil more about this vette servo and what it does thnak's

[Grennan]

From what ive read and heard, the servo itself has a bigger surface area which allows for better shifts, when i say better i think it makes the shifts happen faster. So what you will get with the Shift Kit and Vette Servo is a firmer, faster feeling shift

There was a massive thread in Development a while ago but we lost it because of the server change.

[hsvpunk]

stage 2 shift kit it is. I had been told around the 450 -500 mark fitted. So it sounds good to me.

Cheers grennan (boss) for given that bit of info,

Don't do it on a very weak or problematic gearbox. Did it on the vt it crapped itself after a few weeks. If the gearbox in good working order then should have no problems.

I got mine installed while it being rebuilt.

[Troy5L]

Nah, hes saying that he got one put in a gearbox that was problematic and it died after a few weeks. And he got one put into a rebuilt gearbox and it has been fine.
