looks more difficult than it probably is.. remove drivers side heat shield, find the servo and swap it out basically?

It really isn't that bad--Remove heat shield, take out snap ring that holds the servo cap on, remove servo cap, take out servo, put new servo in, replace cap, replace snap ring, replace heat shield, and viola! It should take 15-20 minutes. It is almost as easy as changing your oil. Good luck!

Just make sure the snap ring is seated in the proper grove and it will be fine. There are no "rubber bands" for the servo swap though. There are a couple of big o-rings.

I talked to the guy on the phone and looked at something online.. so i go to the passanger side, pry the shield, remove retaining clip, cut o ring, remove cover, remove old servo,put in new servo with vassaline on it, then put everything back in, in order with new ring on the cover and lube that.. and alls good..

the guy said that its nothing serious, just better for the tranny life, i doubt i will chirp 2nd.

Probably should use silicone or water based lube next time you lube an O ring. Glad you got it. When I did mine, I put one upside down and it wouldn't shift until like 4000 RPM just driving slow. I took it back apart though and figured it out. I noticed quite a difference in shift firmness.
