First,are there different stages of shift kits available from Transgo? Second, does the Transgo kit(s) use the vette servo and other vette parts? Along with the Transgo kit, I want to use vette servo(piston and housing, and of course seals for housing and cover), the vette TV boost valve, (possibly the intermediate/reverse boost valve, found at www.pro-built.net), the vette pressure regulator spring, and the vette 3-4 upshift sleeve. So I need to know what the Trangso kit consists of so that I can get the other parts I want that are not included. Also, in the probuilt catalog, they state that their corvette servo has been "machined to alleviate 3-2 clunk, 2-3 clang & cutloose and 1-2 slide." Do the original GM units produce these problems? Thanks for any help.

 

If I remember correctly, you choose the "personality" of the kit when you install it. I don't think it includes any of the other parts you're talking about. You could always get the kit and look inside before you get the rest of the parts.

I'm using the original GM Corvette servo, and I don't have anything that I'd describe as "3-2 clunk, 2-3 clang & cutloose and 1-2 slide".

My car lugs into third if I'm not on the gas, but other than that, it shifts great. I don't know about the other "problems" they sound like some kind of dance moves.
