It takes a bit of playing with it to get it in or out. If you need some pictures and a walk through there's a tech article on sethirdgen on the install.

you'll need a crowbar on the inside of the tranny tunnel against the cover to get that in, took me 2 days to do it cause I broke all the crossmember bolts and I couldn't get that cover back in.

i found out what the problem was for anyones info, i went to a tranny shop and they gave a wax or grease to put on the seals so they slide easier to the tranny which help out a hellofalot, just so good info, took me 5 minutes to install servo cover with my bare hands.

how do you like the servo??? I love mine it chirps second gear. I LOVE IT!! next is my shift kit. they say when you do the servo swap it always a good idea to do the shift kit too.
