Corvette servos and new gearbox mount own!:P

[greenfoam]

I swear putting a Corvette servo is the best cheap mod I've ever done, my VP feels like brand new and the new gearbox mount fixed my high speed vibration now it just screams to the redline soo good ,

VP simulation in text, man I'm so going to rip the other 5 litres tomorrow night :P

boORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.reECH
.booORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[kniever]

the 2nd gear chirp is good eh, i loved it when i got the stage 2 shift kit put in

[V85000i]

hey greenfoam, did you fit it yourself, if not how much was it to get fitted and where did you get it fitted. don't worry about the last question if your not in SA.

[xcop5l]

only a chirp? one of the ones i was driving wheel span for about 5m when it hit second. but it still kicks ass when it chirps

yeh but my engine is stock and i got really soft tread so it just chirps really loud (scares eveyone as i drive past lol) but if i did a few things to the engine then it would spin a bit pretty easy i reckon like it does in the wet

You boys need more power The SS will spin almost right thru 2nd with 15's and would chirp my 18's.................no such luck on 19's

[cracker]

my mates vp ss 5L spins 2nd with stock box and engine, got an exhuast, on 15" ceptors with good tread and dry road, it spins it for good 2-3 meters

i get a good chirp into 2nd with 235/18

[stocky]

i can chirp 1 235/17 on half throttle. i need lsd already haha

yeh if i ran 15's mine would spin too but i run 17's and it lets off a massive chirp but in the wet its a differant story, the ass end just flicks to the side as soon as i hit 2nd and like i said b4 its a matter of what tread you use

[253@7k]

Ive got upgraded boost valves, upgraded bands and a billet servo and my vt will spin well into second and chirp third at full revs it'll chirp second at about 3500 with 235/45r17's. (stocko v6 btw)

[greenfoam]

Well mine doesnt make much sounds because I have super soft tyres but it does spin AND best of all it gives the old neck a fair bend on the shift and really hauls the front end up in the air on the shift. Mines a bit different to a solid axel car, it squats down much harder into the road on launch and the shifts than a solid

I put it in, it's not toooooo hard but you wouldn't really want to do it without a hoist or at least really good stands because you have to lever the gearbox across to one side with a bar and jam pieces of wood inbetween the trans tunnel and the gearbox to get all the bits out

[lord_davros]

where do you get the servos from and are they easy to fit? i had a stage 2 box untill someone stole it from my driveway (would have been a heavy walk..lol)

yeah watching a heavier vt with hot ls1 is scary it looks like they are gonna scrape the rear bumper off!!

yeah the IRS commodores do sqwat a lot harder then the live axle setups etc

[PaRaDoX]

lol i remember cruizing thru gelong with u ben then i heard this BWAAAAAAAAAAAARPPPPP *SKID* *smoke*

good to hear your getting faster foam, its on next season

[YMY-88U]

i put a corvette servo in my car a while back to try and stop the box from slipping, well it did that and now feels a whole lot stronger, like foamy said it was the best cheap mod that i have done to my car and all in an hours work, if you have good instructions.

[mulligan-can]

Where did you get the servo from?

[YMY-88U]

you can buy them from ebay for around 50 bucks and comes with full instructions that are very easy to follow

[boourns]

jus readin through this thread, i was wonderin, what does a stage 2 shift kit with a corvette servo enhance to a vp with little work done? i know it does something to the gears... but what does it actually do

[J_D]

Does the corvette servo still allow a smooth shift from first to second on light acceleration or will it still hold the high revs and slam into second? The reason I ask is mine seems to hold first for too long on light acceleration(goes up to about 3000rpm) and slams into second. The car might already have a corvette servo but if it doesnt maybe I will get one to see if it fixes this problem.

Nah, it'll always give you a little clunk shifting 1st - 2nd. But you get used to that very quickly. If your gearbox is holding 1st to 3000 under normal load, this is probably an issue with your shift cable being too lose. When I had my shift-kit installed, I asked for the cable to be tightened, and now, with a stage-2, she shifts at around 2300 under light load.
