Corvette servo install

[Egan]

Installing the Corvette Servo in the H2 tranny:

The idea behind this part is that it firms up the 1-2 shift in our transmissions. For $18 shipped, I figured what the heck and ordered it from: http://www.oregonperformancetransmis...de=NTP-K51828C

The installation itself is easy enough and took about an hour.

Step 1: Remove the heatshield between the cat and the side of the tranny.



Once removed, you?ll see the servo:

Step 2: Push in the servo cover, compressing the spring, and remove the clip that holds the cover in. I used the wonder bar:



With the clip out, you can use pliers to pull the cover out. It will likely get stuck on the blue seal. The kit comes with a new blue seal, so I cut the old one out:

Step 3: Pull the cover out, exposing the 4th apply piston



Pull the 4th apply piston out, exposing the servo assembly:

Step 4: Pull the servo assembly out. There is a spring on the back side that will likely fall out:



That spring was resting on the protrusion seen here. Make sure you put it back on before sliding the new servo back in:

Step 5: Remove the clip, washer, and spring from the 2nd apply piston. Simply push down on the washer and spring and pop the clip out:





Then simply slide the shaft out:

Step 6: Disassemble the 2nd apply piston assembly. Start by compressing the cover (I used a c-clamp):



Once compressed, remove the circlip and uncompress the cover:



Take the spring out of the existing servo housing and move it over to the new one:

How much tranny fluid did you loose when you popped the servo out?

I guess I'm going to tackle this on Sunday or the next weekend, but wanted to verify how big of a mess it was going to make.

Thanks in advance.

i havent tried since my first attempt at installing this.

let me know how this goes for you. i couldnt get the lid to push in enough to dig the ring out. i figured there has to be years of grime built up around it.

Sweet...thanks for the quick response.

I'll definitely post back results.
