Default Any tricks to getting a stubborn servo out??

hey, bought a new servo and orings for my 4l60e - i was told that it was all removable from the outside of the tranny. I removed the retainer wire and tried to pull the servo out - but after about 1/4 inch it would not budge. I pulled on it as hard as I dare with some offset pliers. Any idea how to get the servo out? Do I have to pull the pan?

I'd guess you're pulling on the cover. Take some needle nose pliers and through the cutout notch on the bottom of the case grab the o-ring and rip it out of there. The cover will practically fall out after that.

Default "corvette" servo in stock 95 TA tranny?

thanks, that did the trick. Got it installed, no problem.

I could see no visual difference between my "stock" servo and the "corvette" servo I installed. Did a stock 95 TA auto come with a "corvette" servo - the trans is shifting firmer, but I am wondering if this is just due to the new o-rings I installed?

The higher performance cars usually come with vette style servos. Yours probably had one already, I would have put the new seals on the original GM part instead of the (usually) cheap tiawan made aftermarket servos.

i think later LS1 f body 4L609Es got corvette servos. not OBDI LT1s i am almost sure, though. at least not on purpose BTW, the servos don't look all that different. ther main difference is surface area
