I anyone can help I've got the truck up on jacks right now and the stock shift servo doesn't want to come out. I've pulled the retainining cli[p and it slid out about a 1/2 inch or so. (pouring about 3-4oz. of trans fluid in my hair but now it doesn't want to pull out any further and I dont want to force unless I'm supposed to. any help would be appreciated ASAP.

or call 248 224-0580

 

sometimes you have to reach up in there with an "o-ring pick" or an ice pick and break the o-ring before it will come out

 

Never mind, I just finished it. It was the outside o-ring hanging up got it out. then I serched the older posts and found some stuff on taking it apart piece by piece. then reinstalling whill the shaft was unstalled. I going to go drive it now.

 

Post up how you like it. I am tired of staring at mine in the boxes. lol

 

^ i thought i was the only one

 

i got the 1-2 and 3-4 overdrive KDS set sitting right next to me as well!

 

the Super Servo is in, I didn't add the cap extension so its got the whatever the stock clearance was. ( I wasn't going to drop the pan while I was laying under my truck in the rain) tye shifts are noticeably more crisp, I going to redo my shift strategey at low TP's to soften it around town in low throttle. I still have about 6% TQM still in but it definetly hits harder at full throttle. I've got the overdrive servo too. maybe I'm an idiot but looking up from underneath the OD servo wasn't readily apparent location wise.
Disassembly wise search some posts in (truck performance) (if you do it in the car area all you get is billet shift ***** and billet grilles) back around 5/09/03 509SS did an install. he posted the trick was to dissamble the servo on the truck then remove the shaft as clearance to the tunnel is an issue. reassemble the same way you only need to push one clip on in the install phase. Oh yeah, make sure you get the stock base spring out mine didn't come out when I pulled the shaft and I couldn't figure out why the new assembly wouldn't compress all the way. gettting the cover cap on was the biggest pain of the whole operation you need a long fairly thin pry bar to wedge againt the tunnel so you can easily compress the servo stack to get the retaining clip ring on,I was using a round pry bar and it kept rotating and sliding off when I was trying to seat the retainer. many explatives later I had someone hold the bar and I snapped it right in.

 

So, are you getting neck breaking shifts? Will it chirp tires when your at WOT? Also, what was the part number on the kit you got ?

 

I don't have the part # here at work I'll look on the box and post it later, yeah the shifts are pretty firm I went back into edit and soften the shifts more than shock and lengthen the shift time for the thrott6le pos. below 25% part throttle was was really banging in. I took off all the tqm. and it doesn;t chirp'em (4wd Suburban)(although a lghter combo such as a pickup definitely would.
