aight guys got a question for ya.... me and a buddy of mine put a vette servo in my truck yesterday... i drove it the rest of the night and this morning i got in my truck and went down the road and all of a sudden it dropped up to 3rd gear and my truck filled up with smoke and filled everybodys car behind me up with smoke... I get my truck pulled back to my house unbolt the shield over my servo and the case of my transmission is cracked!!!! goshawk had this exact same problem with his trans ..... DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT IN THE HECK HAPPENED!!!

 

bad casting in the case is my only answer. weak spot. i am going to pm you a link to a site to get a good rebuild kit.

 

Sounds like you didn't have the snap ring fully seated. It's not the case being defective. Debris in the snap ring groove didn't allow the ring to be seated properly. Hydraulic pressure broke your case....

 

wll.. I guess the snap ring is something to pay attention to... I havent done my servo.. its sitting in a abox waiting... looks like I need to watch out for that

 

that could very well be the problem. however mine lasted 2 years before it cracked the case..seems like a long time before something gave way.

 

goshawk23 you mind sneding me that rebuild tranny site fora good price?

 

man i don't see how debris would cause it to break in less that an 1hr total drive time since i put it in

 

I've seen them break on a trans dyno the first time it hit second gear with high line pressure. Shitty trans builder did it more than once! I just couldn't get it through his head to clean that groove......HELP WANTED!!!

 

aight well ill be real sure to clean it real real good when i put it in my new trans

 

since a billet servo has more surface area will it boos line pressure evan more than a vette servo, wonder cause im ordering one next week, is a vette servo way cheapper and just as effective, should i be more worried about line pressure with a billet.
so many ?'s
thanx nick
