Corvette servo can be had for $20-30. Sonnax 2nd servo is around $100, and is just slightly more firm than the vette servo. It does have a lot more sealing rings than the vette servo for better long-term sealing, but I don't think there's any real tangible benefit in this regard.

I'd get the corvette servo FWIW.

The sonnax 4th servo is a dual piston servo, they do this to increase the apply area beyond what the stock housing bore and cover can achieve (the superior 4th servo uses a single piston design and IMO isn't worth the money). It'll firm up the 3-4 shift only, and with a more stiff return spring the 4-3 shift will be a little faster. You can also keep the factory 4th servo and block/disable the 4th accumulator for a firmer 3-4 shift. It doesn't have near the effect of blocking the 1-2 accumulator for the 1-2 shift... the 3-4 with blocked accumulator and stock 4th servo actually feels pretty good. Pretty close to the 1-2 with the corvette servo.

have the vetto servo and it made a differance, and I only spent 50 bucks, I would not spend 100 dollars for something that is just a little bit more. I personally thingk the corvette one is fine for everyone.

When it comes to transmissions, I would go with whatever Vince B says.
