i to am interested in these,,,they wouldnt be as great as a stage two kit would they?? my box has a leaking rear seal atm so gotta fix that....how much are the corvette servos and do they make a huge diffreence mate?

[jas98]

hey man, the corvette servos are about 40-60 on ebay delivered, there easy to install.

as for it making a difference, you can definally feel the difference wen u give it a boot full, firm hard shift from 1st to second (even sum wheel spin :O) lol

from my experiences, if you put a shift kit in a stuffed transmission, it will only make it worse very very quickly.

true that i spoke to a tranny builder and he says installing a stage 2 doesnt make the box any stronger only makes it drop and shift harder when flooring it, he also stated what you did and that if theres something wrong in ur box it will go wrong a fair bit quicker (mainly because you start gettin lead footed when you shift kit a tranny i reckon :P lol)

i found out the auto only slips because of the seal leaking.. and thats from when the tqail shaft was put in it didnt feel right and they tried lvereing it in and ****ed the seal

[Poms308]

also 'jas98' those b&m stage 2 shift kits, are harsh i had one put in my old vs and even when i was drivin grandpa style it shifted pretty heavy but i found that it wasnt a firm/smooth shift as you get from transgo stage 2. id go transgo anyday

[jas98]

cheers guys

wat about a boost valve? r they worth putting in on a stock G box with corvette servo?

cheers

[delcowizzid]

ide do the whole lot transgo kit and boost valve along with the corvette servo works a treat
