Default Servo Install Problems

I installed the vette servo and a billet 4th servo on my pick-up this morning. I also have the hd-2 shift kit waiting to be installed. I figured while I had the servos out i would put the new blue cushion spring in that comes with the shift kit. Got everything put back together so I could take it for drive before I go to work but 1-2 is not very firm, and between 2-3 it feels like it slipping/surging and i have to let off for it to shift. Thats when I'm all over it anyways. Just driving normal it seems to be ok. Any ideas for me here?

how's your 3rd to 4th feel like? because i got my 4th super billet and saw only about 100 rpm between 3rd to 4th. I think you need tune to fix that problem.

I'm not real sure on the 3-4. But between 2-3 is what worries me. Took it apart but the pen did not fall out like it did when i took the stock stuff out. Not real sure whats goin on...I'm going to take all apart again and put the vette servo in then put stock 4th servo in and see what happens

Maybe you cut a ring and that's why it's stuck. Try getting a screw driver in there and pry against the washer. It should pop out. Let us know if you need some seals.Vince.

Well I pried for a little bit then i took the e-clip, washer and spring off. I'm thinking thats what happened is i cut an o-ring but i can't get that damn servo out for nothing...Luckily i've got a couple for o-rings...Why won't the pin come out though?

I think that you cut one of the teflon rings on the servo and it's jammed the servo in there along with the pin. I would put the washer and clip back on and pry some more. Vince

I guess until it comes out or you break something! Lets hope it comes out. Maybe if it wont come out when leaning on it a little try tapping on it a little to straighten it out. You could try to blow it out of there but that would reguire dropping the valve body again and a compressor. There is a check ball that is in the case in the servo area. This is where the release oil is. You could also try prying in the front of the case between the pump and valve body. If you look up into the case you can se the band and might be able pry it there as well. Good luck,Vince.
