There is a link in the description for the Corvette Servo.
I wonder if a typical mechanic shop would do this job - I just got a Reman 4l360e and my 2-3 seems kind of iffy - not sure if it is slipping. One time I went up to over 6000 rpm but I was WOT on the entry ramp to the interstate. hahaha. I find it mind-blowing that a $3000 plusK Reman transmission does NOT include a Servo upgrade! holy smokes... they just change out that elastic band thing? crummy. "Arguably one of the most inexpensive, yet most rewarding upgrades to your 700R4 or 4L60E (4L65E, 4L70E) transmission is the corvette servo. Right away you will notice faster and firmer 1-2 and 2-3 shifts.... Too much servo travel can cause a delay in shifting, a longer 1-2 and 3-4 shift, as well as a slide-and-bump-into-gear type shift. By 100,000 or more miles, the band is wearing out and then you are at the point where the servo almost cannot travel far enough. Once it is beyond the travel of the servo, it will burn up the transmission. The longer pin is designed to take up that slack and prevent the servo travel... If you are installing, or already have installed, a shift kit, you will likely not need a longer servo pin. Most shift kits are designed to address the servo travel issue already." Dang - don't you think a new Reman will include a new "shift kit" so this isn't necessary? thanks
@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 yes a typical mechanic shop can do this job. There is no reason why a corvette servo can’t be paired with a shift kit.
Exactly what I was looking for regarding the servo change while in the car. Other people's videos with the transmission out of the car are useless as most all of us doing this with the transmissions in the car.
I’m glad that the video was helpful!
It's so much easier to do tranny work with it out, but either way isn't to bad I've done clutches and I feel like they are easier to do then working on a automatic trans 😅
Great video.! You made look super easy brendon 🙌🏽
Thanks Moises!
Great video as always, I am getting ready to install my Corvette servo soon, so this video will be a huge help. Also I will have my exhaust out of the way for the header install so hopefully that helps.
Thank you. Honestly, the body of the vehicle was in the way more than the exhaust, but I am not sure how much room there is on an Escalade.
Nice little upgrade!
Thanks, it really is and is inexpensive.
Cant wait to see driving video great video
It drives much better! Shifts so much crisper.
Definitely helped watching this
Awesome! That is what I like to hear!
My poor 07 1/2 ton 4x4 340,000 miles , it spent three years in michigan , moved back to florida , that servo cover was so set up , i started pulling the whole transmission , nothing left but tranny bolts and torque converter , sprayed it with lubricant two nights in a row , it finally decided to come loose after i beat it hard with the big ballpeen and turned with channel locks , cover is buggered up now , it would work , but im getting a total rebuild now , it done pissed me off . Transfer case too .😂
Wow that is crazy!
Great video !
Thanks!
Cool video!
Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Is there anything that I can help you with or questions that you need answered?
You the man dawg! I’m strongly considering this on my 05 Yukon got 207k and shifts fine as is however this mod(Vette servo) is fire is a tune strongly recommended with this install or just to sync is all together?
Thank you, this mod is very highly recommended. You don’t have to have a tune to go with it. However, a good tune will definitely gain you some performance when done correctly.
I see ya brotha
👀
Does my servo cover need to be able to move in alittle before attempting to remove snap ring or can I try to pry it out? Cover won't move in at all need help I can't get it to move.
No, it doesn’t have to be able to move in to remove the snap ring but it does add a little room. Sometimes the cover can feel a little stuck at first, but if you press hard enough on the center of it then it should press in. The spring behind the servo is what you are pressing on.
Do you think i could this upgrade on my 2013 GMC SIERRA W/T 4.8?
As long as you have a 4l60 transmission then yes.
i have a 4x4 1500 and its alot tighter than a 2x4
Yes, they are much tighter for sure and are less fun to perform this job on.
Did you install the torq solenoid to benefit the new corvette servo ? Or because the codes?. im about finished rebuilding my kids 4L60E and we put a shift kit and new wires and well everything in a shift kit and this is my first time taking apart a auto 4 speed tranny and in all it actually was not that hard 😅 so lets see if it works when we go to try it 😂 also we put the corvette servo in his also .just hoping for a longer lasting beefed up 4l60e
I changed out the torque converter solenoid because of the code. Good luck with the rebuild. I want to try my hand at rebuilding a transmission someday myself.
@whiplashtv2022 thanks
You’re welcome
Would a bad servo cause a no second or 3 rd gear
No, because the servo affects more than just 3rd gear.
Do I need a tune after installing this?
No, a tune is not mandatory after a Corvette servo. Although a good custom tune is always a great thing to get.
How miles did u have on him before the installation I'm at 97000 on my 03 silverado with the 4L60E
212k miles on the truck. I am unsure on the miles on the transmission and if it was ever rebuilt previously.
Does the truck need to be tuned afterwards?
No, it doesn’t have to be.
Will this work on 6l90E
No not at all. These 4l60e transmissions are still old school.
buy a pan with a drain plug to make fluid change/maint easier
Yeah it would have been nice if GM would have made it that way.
@@whiplashtv2022 auto zone
Can’t get my servo cover off pushing with pry bar no give
Did you get the snap ring out and the blue o ring?
@@whiplashtv2022 gonna try tomorrow. It doesn’t wanna push in like yours did
@@bkgarage6658 it helped when I rotated it and pushed in and the same time to kinda free it up a little.
Notice much difference?
Yes! It is shifting much quicker and a little more firm. I will show the results in an upcoming video and do another Draggy test. It will be interesting to see if the quicker shifts result in much time off of the 1/4 mile.
4:35 didnt need to bend that
I was unbolting stuff at 4:35 and didn’t bend anything lol
@@whiplashtv2022 you were showing how you need to bend the trans cable bracket to get the pan off... you dont need to, unbolt all the pan bolts and let the opposite side down first then pull it out, dont have to drop it straight down
16:00 just look up how much you trucks trans oil capacity is and buy one more quart to top off perfect after the fluid level lowers after circulation... no oil bottle filling tom foolery
So if it is a 9 quart system then buy 10 quarts and put all 10 in and the level will be good? That isn’t going to work.
@@whiplashtv2022 the large amount of qts is for a full flush not a normal fluid/filter change. so if its 10 qts(2.25Gal) youll need 2 gallons plus a qt to get your .25G
@KirbyLouis right, and I didn’t do a full flush.
@@whiplashtv2022 a normal drain/refill is 5qt(1.25Gal) dont know where they sell 1.25 gal jugs of atf, so youll need a gal and............ one. more. quart. to get the full prescribed 5qt. like i said initially.
So like I said in my reply to your original, and the 2nd comment, I didn’t do a full drain and flush and did the pan and filter. My method worked. If the average person doesn’t know how to figure out about how much transmission fluid they will need, then I showed them how to figure it out. I have yet to see what exactly to show the people that would have been better…
Having a bitch of a time getting the last section of the stock servo out. Don’t leave much room in there.
Yeah sometimes there isn’t much room.
Now dose this help if it neutrals out for 3 and 4? Message me on Facebook please.
If your transmission is currently hitting neutral in 3rd and 4th gear then you probably have damage that this won’t fixed, but you could give this Corvette servo and transmission maintenance a try. No promises though that it will fix it. A good tune and the Corvette servo will extend the life of the 4l60.
Thanks!
You’re welcome
