Youre supposed to get 700R4s reuilt at 100000 miles. Anyway, it probably is, but in conjunction with a shift kit. Depends on what mods you got to the engine as well. Higher stall convertor? Posi? Different rear end gear ratio (from stock)? stuff like that. Plus its a lot of work to tear into the trans for a higher performance servo, but i say go ahead and do it.

With the mods you got to the car, i would actually recommend it. (didnt read the car specs before replying the first time )

You don't need to tear apart or even drop the tranny to put in the "Vette" servo. It is on the passenger side of the tranny. It's available from Pro-built in a Trans go kit or probably alone.

the corvette servo has more area for bands to grab onto, it helps prevent possible slipping i believe.. better shifting quality.
