Question Help Me Choose Which Tranny Servos

Not too sure which servos to use. Either the Vette Servos or Sonnax servos.
I've read in the past that the Sonnax servos are better.
Wanted to see what everyone as a whole thinks.
Thanks,

Jim

FLT uses the Corvette servo in the level 5.

Just wanted to see who else has had experience with them.
FLT will tell me to use the Vette servos because that's what they use.
Zippy of course will tell me the same thing because that's what he uses.
Just needed an exterior opinion on this.
I will be buying from one of them, just not sure which one yet.

i have them and have no complaints at all bro. they are high quality pieces and hold the gears , especially OD strong! no hunting from od to 3rd any more. good luck on your choice, both should be a good option but billet is beefier!

How the trans shifts/behaves is not only the servos, but in the tune as well. With a shift kit and billet servos my truck shifts firm 1-2 2-3 at light to part throttle, but at WOT it hits hard like it should. The corvette servo isn't bad either, I went with the full Zippy shift kit. My original trans has 61K on it with 11K being FI.

I would stay far away from the superior billet 2nd servo. AS far as the servo's breaking your case it is usually a install issue. I have used all of the servo's at one time or another. I have never had a servo blow out of a case and break it. Debris in the snap ring groove or a snap ring that is not completely seated is what snaps a case. Good luck, Vince.
