Corvette Servo Piston & Long Pin 700R4 4L60E 4L65E 4L70E 4L75E Automatic Transmission 2nd Gear
OPT Product Code: OPT-CV-Pin
Product Details
New USA made Corvette servo piston kit with a longer Servo Pin for the GM 700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L75E THM700-R4 MD8
This package includes a longer than stock servo pin to get your band adjusted to the right clearance. It's almost more important to get the right clearance as it is to change to the Corvette servo. If you push in on your servo cover, you'll notice that it moves in around 1/8"-1/4". This is way too much travel, it should be closer to 1/16".
This servo is a must for any performance, towing, RV, or off-road transmission, but would be a nice upgrade for any 700-R4 or 4L60E.
Right away you'll notice faster and firmer 1-2 shifts and even slightly better 2-3. Also, since the servo isn't traveling as far before it applies the band, the 1-2 and even the 3-4 shift will be much quicker.
This servo will give your transmission 50% more apply pressure, just what you need to keep from burning your transmission up under heavy load situations.
This servo is easy to install and can be done with the transmission in the vehicle.
The kit comes with all of the necessary seals for installation including the outer cover o-ring.

Frequently Asked Questions
After a short amount of time, by 30k miles or so, the band has been broken in and the servo travel has increased a lot. Too much servo travel can cause a delay in shifting, a longer 1-2 and 3-4 shift. It can be a slide-and-bump into gear. By 100k or more miles, the band is wearing out and then you are at the point where the servo almost can't travel far enough, and once it is beyond the travel of the servo, it will burn up the transmission.
You can test your current travel now. Just get under it and with a pry bar, push in on the cover of your servo. If it goes in more than 1/8", you definitely want the longer pin. The optimum range is closer to down around 1/16"+ or so (.070 – .090).
