It will actually prolong the life of your tranny by putting more pressure on the bands, thus increasing the life of the the bands. In a stock tranny they set the pressure low so that the tranny has a smooth shift, in order to do this you reduse surface pressure on the servo drum, this also causes the band to wear faster. To put it in simple terms. If everyone where to slam on there brakes and lock them up immediatly your brake pads would not wear as quickly as a nice smooth gradual stop.

Thats was an improper install from a moron, If you know what your doing you cant screw it up. simple install, pull the c-clip out look at how the old one is put together and reverse te procedure.
Let me rephrase my statemnt, Show me a tranny that has failed prematurly to a PROPERLY installed servo. !!!!!! I am a mechanic for a living, trust me, they wont screw uo your tranny, anyone on here with any common sense will backme up!!

I had mine installed by A & A Transmission here in my home town, Rick Allison is a racer that knows his transmissions. If he thought there was anything wrong with the swap, he would have steered me away from it when I suggested one be installed in my transmission. The shifts are very strong, and I like it that way, with the shift kit. Put me down for a yes on the Corvette Servo, great results. Keep in mind you get what you pay for. Kills me to see how many buddies tear up other peoples stuff, lol.
