My 'new' fear, if you will, is staking the accumulator housings - I'm not a machinist, and I am a bit vague on that. My fluid is in like-new condition - but I have the feeling the previous owner started feeling the harsh 1-2, replaced the fluid, found the shift was the same, and ditched the truck (it's got about 135K on it now I got it with 128K).

I've got a new Derale stacked plate that I'm going to install after the TransGo kit, so that should help with the heat issue. I will probably skip the Vette servo maybe come back to it later if I want to firm up the shifts further, as my only problem right now is a harsh 1-2 shift, and no codes (it actually slammed the 1-2 one day during the hot summertime last year in stop-n-slo traffic, until I turned on the heater to let the engine cool - it got up just past the 210 mark before I got smart and turned off the a/c and turned on the heater). I even have the blue trans assembly lube that that Hiram guy uses in the You Tube video (and I've watched that a few times, too). I have that exact kit, and - I have the torlon checkballs, too. Gerbil21 - Thank you for replying - and to answer your questions. This part is especially true for the op apologize to the OP for hijacking his thread.

And clean as much as you can especially the mps (manifold pressure switch) they get full of dirt and it messes with its resistance which can give wrong temp readings and either give you wrong shifts and/or no shifts either all the time or just when hot or cold. Even thought it's not necessary (and very hard) but if you do the vette servo make the correct changes and install while the pan is off to check band clearance with or with out the gold spacer supplied in the transgo kit, same goes with using the stock servo and modifying it.Īll in all its not that hard just have to be cautious and look over everything twice. I've done two and it's not that hard, just make shure you make up your mind on the servo first. I got the torlon checkballs since they seal better on the plate and aren't supposed to get stuck in the plate either. Is that what you guys have? If so then that is all you need except for new checkballs, i wouldnt leave the old ones since they do get stuck and are under constant wear. I wouldn't be afraid to do the kit just be thorough and make shure you follow all the steps the instructions and the thread has, make shure you not only read it but understand it.Īlso what kit do you and have, the typical shift correction kit from ctpowetrain is this: The servo is a pain to get to and is up to you if you want to do it or not, if it shifts good then just follow the shift kit instructions for you servo, it should say which one to do.Īs for the checkballs the 8th seems to be the one from the case side so make shure it goes back in the case, you can hold it in place aswell as the other 7 with some vasaline. (Make shure you have a jack under the trans cross member at all times!)

To do the servo you have to remove 4 bolts that cross through the trans cross member then loosen the bolts facing the floor on the driver side first by a little bit to allow it to lean to the passenger side when you lower thoose enough to gain space to get to the servo. Servo that you should have gotten in the kit. Make shure you do follow the instructions in the transgo shift kit for the servo and do it for the vette. You should also check the accumulators and make shure they aren't stuck either. Make shure all solenoids and electronics are connected, and check to make shure the springs aren't cocked or stuck in their bores. I would definitely go back in and check to make shure you followed all of trans go instructions, I have done 2 of these exact kits before with no problems.
