Corvette servo piston kit for the GM 700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L75E THM700-R4 MD8
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.
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.
For the price, the Corvette servo is the best upgrade you can make to your 700R4, 4L60E, 4L65E, or 4L70E automatic transmission. Installing this servo in lower mileage vehicles can add years to your transmission’s life. Higher mile transmissions can also benefit and help to postpone a costly rebuild.
This servo is easy to install and can be done with the transmission in the vehicle.
The recommended servo travel is 1/16”-1/8”. Getting your servo within this travel range can make the shifts even quicker and add more miles and years to your transmission’s life. The long servo pin option on this item can help to get this travel within the correct range. We are finding that when using the billet overdrive servo in conjunction with the corvette servo, this correct travel range is crucial. Any travel over 1/8” can create a situation of no overdrive.
The kit comes with all of the necessary seals for installation including the outer cover o-ring.
This servo works in all makes of this transmission. GM, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Hummer, Isuzu, Saab, including:

Vette servo 4l60
Best upgrade for the least money you can get. Shipped quick. One thing no one tells you about install is that it takes QUITE a bit of pressure to get cap to pop in far enough to get snap ring back in. Aside from that, nothing to it.

Should extend the life of my worn out transmission
I was getting a shift flare (rise about 300-400 RPM) before it would shift in 2-3, 1-2 wasn't quite as bad but it was slow as well. This was under very light load, and likely would have been a lot more RPM slip at high throttle/load. I threw this in for a cheap try to fix and it has helped a lot. No more RPM flare, although I think the shifts are still taking longer than they should, but this should help the clutches a lot. 1-2 shift is more like a bump now, but not bad, 2-3 is almost seamless, just about a 300-500 RPM drop at shift which is just fine.
I put this in a 2003 Tahoe (265k miles) with transmission still in vehicle. I didn't have enough room to get the pin and piston out until I dented some small flap of sheetmetal out of the way, which didn't need to be sticking out anyway. Even removing the C clip my pin would not come out, and I found out after removal that the pin had a very tiny burr on the lip which would not let it pass through the piston separately until it was sanded off. So those may be 2 issues you fight if you try to remove while installed in vehicle. Good luck! This cheap and simple to replace part probably bought me a lot more time on this transmission.

Thanks guys!
My freebie junkyard 95 k1500 recently had a lift, 35’s & 4.11 put in the front after obtaining a semi floating rear. Next was the 4L60E, so I had someone else do the work & 4K later, I noticed it would drag on wot 1-2 shifts occasionally instead of a normal quick shift but not all the time. I was worried about it & decided to just throw one in rather than pull it just to check it out. I have a derale remote trans filter & thought maybe the filter was greatly limiting PSI at high rpm, I’m glad it wasn’t the case.
These guys were quick to ship & even sent pages of instructions for those who need guidance. Popped the old one out with the gasket even installed since it was new, put the new one in & was off shifting firmly again 15 min later.
The old one was def not checked during the rebuild, it flops around like a fish on land. Now I’m worried what else they didn’t catch but these things happen with the barter system I suppose.
I appreciate you guys helping my trans live longer!

Makes a HUGE difference!
Installing the Corvette Servo really added life to my truck. It now feels confident shifting from 1-2 and 2-3. Even with 35" tires, it gets up and goes. Installation was easy enough, took about an hour. Shipping was also super fast. I would recommend this to everyone who wants positive feedback from their transmission!

Great price, easy install. I really appreciate the parts breakdown that was included. I installed this in my 2007 Silverado classic (4L60e) and it immediately improved my 1-2 shift response its a nice crisp shift. Wish i would have done it sooner. Thank you.

Do it! (Corvette Servo (1-2), Long Pin, & Superior Super Servo (3-4 Overdrive
Amazing! 285K mi on '01 Suburban 1500 (5.3L, RWD). 1-2 shift was delayed until 3500 RPM, and then 2-3 happened almost immediately. 3-4 had always been soft & barely perceptible. NOW, after installing the Corvette Servo, AC Delco long servo pin, and the Shift Super Servo 4th Apply Piston and cover, the tranny is like new. Shifts are firm and confident but not slammed. At 25% throttle I 1-2 and 2-3 happens before 35 mph and keeps RPMs below 2000. Not measured yet, but am pretty sure I'll see in increase in MPG. 3-4 is noticeable now but again, not slammed. Perfect. Glad I did the whole package. I will likely do this to my son's 99 Silverado, and any other 4L6xE vehicle I own going forward. Love it!
Did in an afternoon on a gravel driveway, BTW. Definitely a DIY with a little RTM and "YouTube Certification training".
Only ding is that I called OPT for one question, and got sent to VM. Sent the question in via the web, and didn't get an answer until the Tuesday after I installed the parts on Saturday. I guessed the answer well so NP.
Here was my Q and the A for someone else's benefit. If you get the whole package like I did, the "SUPER SERVO" "4th Apply Piston & Cover" comes with it's own instructions that say to leave out "spring A" if "this servo is being used along with the "Superior 2nd Gear Super Servo". The "Corvette Servo" that OPT sells that I am reviewing here is NOT the "Superior 2nd Gear Super Servo" so I DID use "spring A". YMMV.

Unbelievably worth it
Second time ordering this part from them. It's the best mod for any vehicle with a 4l60e. Makes it shift so perfect. Firm and tight shifts instead of slow and slippy. Takes about an hour to install yourself. So worth it!

Best money you can spend on a 4L60e
My truck was not as easy as they show on youtube because the tunnel was in the way of removing the part as a unit so it needed to be rebuilt on the truck. Still pretty easy and well worth the results.

Every Stock Trans Needs This
The kit was complete with the servo parts, as well as a replacement seal for the cover. The kit also came with great paper work showing how to assemble the parts. This kit made my stock 700R4 shift like it should have from factory. No more lazy shifts, with floating overlap. The shifts are quick and firm, while still maintaining comfort. Shifting is not harsh, just firm and quick.

Installed the Corvette and OD Super servo and finally my Silverado shifts out like it should. Very noticeable difference. Also I didn't need the longer pin. This is one of the few performance upgrades that I have done that I actually feel was worth the money and it was easy to do.

Outstanding!!
I ordered one of these Vette servo kits back in 2009 from your eBay store, and I installed it on my 2001 Suburban. 8 years later and my truck STILL shifts great, it will even chirp the tires sometimes from a 1-2, and even a 2-3 shift when I am flooring g the gas pedal. This small upgrade along with a Blackbear Performance tune have been some of the best upgrades I have done to my truck.

No brainer. Must have upgrade.
This upgrade is cheap and OPT sends you everything you need including the o-rings. Shipping was fast and everything fit as described. The labor in itself is pretty straight forward and requires a bit of patience working in tight spaces. The results are pretty impressive with tighter shifts from 1st to 2nd.

Great bang for the buck, simple install & made a big difference in a 2006 Yukon Denali. Still shifts soft enough down low for when my wife drives but a big difference in heavy throttle situations & a drop in operating temperature too. Do this to your vehicle, you won't regret it.

For my 2004 Yukon. This made a huge difference for how much it cost. Installed myself in about 30-40 minutes. Highly recommended. You can feel the shifts. Hopefully should add some extra life to the transmission.
