Servo ajmmed in, can't take it out.

This is driving me crazy.
My servo is crooked in the bore and I can't pull it out, no wonder my shift points were all over the map.
Looks like I have to take it to a shop and have the tranny pulled out.
One more headache, is this ever gonna stop? I'm starting to think my decision to install the TransGo kit was a big mistake.
Installing it with the tranny in the car is definitely not the way to do it.

Any ideas how to unjam the stupid thing like heat this, hammer that kind of thing?

Thanks.

I think you are going to have a hell of a time getting it out while the trans is in the car. If it is really stuck then the trans will have to come out and taken apart then pushed out from inside. I have never really seen a servo pin stuck so bad that it won't come out "easily."

Drop the pan and look on the pan rail just under the servo. You will see a small dump hole. Hit that hole with a shot of 50 psi air while working the cover.

The car is in a tranny shop now. We'll see how it goes.
