4L60E Corvette Servo

[Torquative]

has anyone changed theirs in a VZ while the box is in the car and if so how?

I tried to lower the rear of the box but it didn't work as it drops all of 2 or 3 cm, there's a cooler line, heatshield and exhaust pipe that also gets in the way.

for something that supposidly takes 'less then an hour to change' how the heck do you get into it to begin with?

ill add +2 to how to do this too,

matt is it getting stuck on the transmission shifter selector?

[Torquative]

I haven't actually tried to pull it apart in case I cant get it back in

nah just see if its pullin on the shift rod, than just disconnect the rod from the side of the gearbox

[Torquative]

you mean see if the shift rod is whats holding it in place and not letting it drop?

I'll give it a shot on the weekend and let you know how I go. I dont need much clearence, but you saw the gap Im left to work with.

i took mine to an auto trans place and they did it for me! only cost $80 and i don't have to F%$@ with something i know nothing of! (shop around)

only cost $80

Haha, i wonder how good the quality of work is!

[delcowizzid]

you shouldnt have to drop it down just undo the rear mount and push the box to one side and jam it there with a block of wood.will be doing mine on the weekend ill let you know how much skin i loose in the process

[Torquative]

well in the end I got it out, it was the shift kit spring I couldn't get too without having to drop the entire thing but thats another story and another kit.

But it doesnt matter, as we speak the cars at a workshop having the transmission taken out and replaced because the shift kit is just a joke in peak hour.

BTW Paul its better then being charged $800 to be told 'I dont know what youve done and now I dont know what Ive done so I need to send it to a transmission specialist to have it sorted"

The corvette servo itself isn't hard, esentially you just take out 2 discs and replace them with bigger discs, its just getting the old ones out and the new ones in it becomes hard

[delcowizzid]

did mine today left box all bolted in took 15 mins easy as pie getting the snap ring out the old piston to swap it over is the hardest part by hand

[bgcarter1]

the $80 was just for labour, i already purchased the part, as for quality... getting an auto trans specialist to do it rather than doing it myself means i have it guaranteed right first time :-)

[Torquative]

let me know how you find it when its installed!!
