I have had this Yank 3000 sitting on the floor in my computer room for entirely to long! I was going to wait until I got a new trany to put it on there, but that's gonna be forever. Do ya'll think that a stock tranny would be ok with this convertor if I had a shift kit and billet servos?

What do ya'll think about just the shift kit and follow up with the servos later on. Money is still pretty tight, so that's why I'm trying to 'get by'.

It's prolly worth mentioning that I did add a 24k GVW B&M cooler.

 

I would use it. I mean it only adds from 1.9 up to 2.21 STR right? So you aren't adding too much more stress to the trans by any means.

Also to install the servos properly you need to drop the pan and check 2-4 band clearance anyway. It needs to be between 1/16" to 3/8" from my memory. When you install the TransGo you have to shim the stock or 'Vette intermediate servo with some large washers to get that clearance correct...when you install billets you have to adjust the apply pin for proper fit. I feel that you'd be wasting money doing one now and the other later. The billets make a HUGE difference in apply (shifts) of the 2-4 band.

If my setup was in a light vehicle it would easily break them loose on a 1-2 upshift (where it is now with the big truck tires it still does) and probably even on a 2-3.

Cooler is a smart investment for sure!

 

Yank 3k in mine w/no shift kit or servos.......just a Predator to quicken the shifts........shouldn't hurt even w/o a shift kit.

 

I really don't think the TT3000 would cause any trouble for the tranny, just make sure if you get the servos you check band clearance like Hit Man said, its pretty important.

Hey, how'd that 24K cooler fit? Did it go in the stock location?

 

My truck didn't have the factory cooler. I used the bar that holds the temp sensor to secure the bottom of the cooler and the bars that come with the kit to secure the top of it. I will try and get some pics tomorrow if I think about it. I need to get some flat black spray paint and touch it up a bit to hide the silver tabs that came with the kit.

 

Pics would be great!

 

Here ya go ... The silver part is the tabs from the kit, that's also what I just sprayed black. :tongue:

 

That is exactly how I mounted mine. I also have a tt3000 with only vette servo and tweeked parameters via edit and mine seems to be doing fine, even on the juice.

 

I'm thinking it may even be ok to run the blower on with the shift kit and the billet servos.

I still need EDIT though ... not having EDIT is starting to hurt.

 

Thanks man, that gives me an idea of how to mount mine.
