    Hey guys, only new to these forums but thought someone might have a lot more of a clue then me.
    I just installed a B&M shift kit in my vy SS auto, seems a bit better but also tried to install a vette 2nd servo, couldn't get the last part of it out due to hitting on the side of the gearbox tunnel. Didn't really feel like taking the box out to fit a $30 part, but everything I have read tells me its great performance value for money. Any tips? I found some guides how to do it online, but they are all on yank cars, must have a lot more clearance

    You can do it by taking the rear cross-brace off and letting the gearbox drop.
    Ive actually never had a problem fitting them with the gearbox in place.

    Chances are though you already have a corvette servo in there...

    Do VY's come with the vette servo already?
    Have you ever tried a billet servo? I might just get it all tuned, just feels like the auto really lets me down

    All of the auto boxs up to the ve are the same autos . And as old mate said just undo the mount and shift it over alittle while your pulling out the servo it helps having a mate to leaver the box over

    All ls1 autos should have the standard vette servo.
    Billet might improve it very slightly but a good shift kit or even a touch up on the auto tune settings gives it good bite.
