Just a quick question. There is no need to drain any tranny fluid to install servo, correct?

Also, how do youtell a billet servo from a vette servo? I thought I ordered a vette, but I have been told that the one I have has more apply area than a vette.

Thanks

I would like to know as well.

To do the servos ONLY, you will lose some fluid. Maybe half qart max.

The Billet servos are shiny while the vette servos are a dull grey.

A handy tool to have is a prybar that is straight with a bend at the last 6 inches. At least that is what I had when I did it.

billet servo's are a billet piece of aluminum and do not overlap each other. vette servo's are machined cast aluminum and overlap each other. you will not need to drain the fluid, but you will lose about 1/4-1/2 quart.

cool, thanks. I must have the vette servo, somebody doesnt know what they are talking about.

One other question, can the line pressures be increased through tuning with the servo? or is it not recommended?

Yes they can but I would drive it a while before you decide to take that route. Drive it a week or and if it is not firm enough, bump the line pressure. Unless you have a shift kit (Transgo or similar), I'm guessing you will want to bump the lune pressure as the stock shifts will still be pretty soft.

i highly recomend not going through and raising the line pressure. simply lower the shift timings a bit more until the truck shifts how you want it to. keep in mind though that every time you adjust the shift timings it takes about 100 miles before the computer fully adjusts. you can go from soft to very harsh by simply changing these and it leaves the computer full control yet of line pressure.

Very nice to know. I asked because I figured my tune had increased line pressures. I may have to talk to him to figure out exactly what he has done. Yet another good reason to get my own software and start to learn this stuff.

Thanks.
