Im going to be installing transgo hd2 shift kit and corvette servo today...Is there anything i should know befor intalling any tips? also how much trans oil will i need to put back in and what kind?

 

Do not use more than ONE washer!

My 4L60E's first gear just went bye-bye less than an hour ago (story behind that ). Using ONE washer in the 1-2 accumulator should be plenty. Two washers will give you a nice, chirpy 1-2 shift, but I think a 2-1 downshift is extremely detrimental with two or more (ask me how I know). Instructions are simple. Take your time, and you'll be fine.

Shouldn't take more than a day to get it done... give yourself more than one day if you haven't done this before (start to finish).

 

Does it matter what kind of ATF i put back in or does it have to be gm dextron or whatever it is?...

 

Just some Dexron III ATF will do... aint that the name of the suff???

My mind has gone blank.....

Im guessing your doin a filter change while your at it??

5qts should get you back close to full... so get 6qts..

 

I wasnt planning on doing a filter change..I read you only lose like 1qt of oil?

 

1qt of fluid is only for the servo.
listen to nonnie

 

Oakay so if i do the shift kit also i will need 6 quarts? Do i have to use Dextron 3...ill be hopefully doing it tommarrow so i wont have a chevy dealer open..only like a walmart..

 

You can get the Dex fluid from any parts store (or Wally World). It doesn't have to have a GM logo on the bottle. Six (6) quarts should do if the TC's full. I was pretty close with six. Look at the fluid to see that there are no metal shavings or anything to deal with. As long as the fluid is a transparent color of red (not dark red), then you're good to go. You can get the trans pan gasket & filter fairly cheap. Why use the same filter? You are planning on replacing the gasket, right?

 

The shift kit came with new a new pan gasket..i probley wont change the filter cause my gm dealer/napa whatever isnt open on sunday..

 

eyyyokay.
