Default Worthwhile to change servos in stock A4?

Is it worthwhile to go to a billet intermediate servo and billet overdrive servo in an otherwise stock A4? I was looking at basic upgrade parts for when I change my converter and flexplate. Would this be a waste of money or would it help the tranny last longer?

Yes,absolutely, this is a great mod if you have your tranny open, will help shifts greatly. I think you can get them for like 89 bucks too. Good Luck

WAY BETTER than any shift kit. I have the billit servos and a transgo and the 2-3 shift is just a hard as the 1-2 the 3-4 shift is also very firm and all are very very short shifts.

Definately do it. You don't even have to open the tranny for it

Question Which Tranny /Which Company

What year and trannys do the heavy duty servos come in from GM? Also what company sells the billet servos? The servos are really straight forward verse the shift kit.
Thanks Tom

The servo's are a very easy install. I'm not sure what, if any, F-bodies came with the upgraded Corvette servo. But the one PATC sells (billet servo) is even better than the Corvette peice. Go for that one. I know it's a bit more work, but I'd at least do the TransGo "Correction Kit". It's not that difficult, goes for around $35, and will really help extend the life of the trans.

Auto transmissions are finicky animals, don't be afraid to spend a little up front because they can become nightmares down the road if they start going.

Enjoy
