Easy Changes/Upgrades to the 4L60E?

Just looking for things that are relatively easy to upgrade (as in not having to pull the trans). The servo?, input shaft? etc?

Car will be running a 2400 stall with oil cooler. don't want a shift kit. My car is a 97 lt1

thanks

if you are putting a stall converter in, you have to pull the trans. To do any of the things you mentioned (servo, input shaft, etc..) you have to pull the trans. I wouldn't personally worry about the input shaft so much.. Servo, beast sunshell, shift kit(it doesnt mean it has to shift really hard, it just takes the slop out), upgraded clutches(hi-energy) & bands.. I am sure more experienced people such as performabuilt will chime in.. there is a lot more to it than just parts. A cooler is a huge thing too.

Well without a shift kit a sonax servo is about all you can do

please school me on the sonax servo. do you recommend a shift kit? I am going for longevity over performance for now.

ok. I have never been a fan of shift kits due to many people I know losing their transmissions much faster with them vs. unmodified. There really is no performance gain just harder shifts which I am not looking for. That is why I was asking about the servo but come to think of it that makes the shifts harder as well not sure of any performance or longevity increase though.

they kill trans because people set them max and its to much for the stock parts , Only some of the kit should be used thats why I said when you get one holler and ill send you some additional instructions
