GM has to make compromises like this to appeal to the widest range of customers possible. While it's actually BETTER for the transmission, you're making the truck shift harder - and not everyone likes harder shifting. When you install a Corvette servo, you're eliminating some of that slippage, and hence some of the associated comfort. They have to make it powerful enough to do what it needs to do while maintaining a certain level of comfort during every day driving. They engineer a certain degree of slippage into the 4L60E to keep things nice and smooth for the everyday joe who drives it around. To more specifically answer his question of "if it's so great why doesn't GM engineer it that way", thnk about this: While your stepdad is correct in that GM does a pretty damn good job overall in engineering their stuff, you have to remember that they make an awful lot of compromises in that process. The 'Vette servo will only firm up the 1-2 shift. Helps firm up the shift points, for firmer shifts If you can change your oil or brakes, you can do this.Ī few flathead screwdrivers (small and medium), a prybar, a drip pan, C-clamp, 10mm socket and ratchet, and a few rags. **Reserved** (goin to add all info from forum here about servo for easy access)Ĭan you work a screwdriver and a C-Clamp? If so, then yes. Post added at 10:58 AM - Previous post was at 10:10 AM. List some positive reasons to install the Vette Servo and Please list any negatives too Soo, this is where you guys can help out haha: His reasoning for not wanting to do it is: "GM pays allot of money to engineers to design/pick the best parts for their cars, and if the Corvette servo works better than what is in there, then they would of put it in there" and also added, "If you can show me it overall is better for the car I'll help you out and install it" My reasoning is that it shifts from 1-2 better and I read online it actually makes the transmission not "slip", so it actually is better than stock for the Hoe. My step-dad who can install anything in cars said he can install one in less than 30 minutes, but doesn't understand why I would install a sports car Servo in a 4X4 SUV. I know they can be purchased for under $20. Quick question: Is there any at ALL downsides to installing the Corvette Servo in my 04 Tahoe LT? Upsides/Downsides to installing the Corvette Servo
