Do I need the Corvette Servo
Depends on whats in there now and what kind of 1-2 shifts you want.
and a 1-2 servo
There is no 1-2 servo, there is a 1-2 accumulator. It can use different springs to alter the shift feel.
Your question isn't very specific.

Sounds like you got it, the aluminum piston replaces the one thats usually plastic.
Depending on brand the servo and accumulators don't usually come with the sealing rings.

What is this?
Trans-go Valve body
They don't sell a valve body that I know of. Got a link?

I'm using a 1-2 Super Servo and a 4th apply servo, but it depends on what drive-ability your looking for? Corvette Servo is a nice clean shifting servo, nothing to aggressive.

It's the same theory as the second gear servo for second gear, it has more apply area to apply the band in fourth.
Good if you do a lot of towing I guess or if for some reason you're shifting 3-4 at the track.
A corvette servo and blocked 4th accumulator seem to work well for everything I've worked on.

Well no, it's mainly for increasing holding power of the band in fourth gear.

No, it's designed to make it shift like ****. What do you think.

What does the better second gear servo do? think about it.
And if you have no clue than why the hell did you get it?

Increased Servo's are not for grocery shopping use, I'm using a 4th apply because I do intend to race from a roll so I will be smashing my trans into OD more then likely when doing so. Just go with the Corvette Servo, no offense, but it doesnt seem like you know enough about it to recognize the difference in the first place. Do NOT use a 4th apply, just use the vette servo.
