I have to wake this up because I have run into a couple of issues.

07 Tahoe with 4l60e, retired state police vehicle PPV.

1. when I disassembled my servo and compressed it to remove the spring. I don't have one spring inside like the others. I have what looks like 3 springs, springpack.

2. In between the two packs I have a brass in color washer.

I followed this thread during install, did everything exactly as stated but when putting the assembly back in the 4th apply/cover would not go in. I was putting y *** into it with a pry bar to get it to go in with no luck.

Should I remove the brass looking washer and take out all but the one spring inside 1/2 servo?

In all of my searches I have not seen anyone with either of these in there threads and there's a lot of servo install topics on google.

I'll try to get some pictures asap.


Sorry for the scattered post.
Any help would be much appreciated

Springs in question

There's actually 3 springs and a coil on top of the springs

That difference with that washer should not stop you, take a 2x4 and a hammer and tap the cover to gain that 3/8" you need to get the snap ring in. I see many times a pry bar will not push the cover in but tapping the cover with a rubber mallet or a 2x4 with a hammer pushes the cover in.

3wide,
Thanks man.
I removed the washer, which in turn is a spacer for shift firmness that I found in the 3 hour ordeal this took, haha.
After removing it I was able to get the correct 1/8" of movement out of it. Took it for a ride and it shifts nice into 2nd at speeds. I'll get a better feel after I drive it for a little while.

Hey Wolf, no I don't. I had a shift kit junior installed a while ago.

My next venture is to replace the tcc valve with a fitzall valve to eliminate pwm.

That may be what the bronze washer and extra springs are from

Huh, good point, I didn't think of that.
I'll have to look up the kit I had installed to see if that was in the box.
