servo replacement....

When replacing the servo, does the tranny have to be lowered slightly to allow the shaft and piston to come out without hitting in the tunnel, or is there a trick to taking it out that I don't know. I have the assembly from the spring and e-clip forward out, but need the rest.

I unbolt the crossmember and push the tranny to the side for clearance.

I saw a tech article about how to do it w/o moving the tranny, I'll see if I can find it for you.

Yeah, I've recently decided to put a corvette servo in my car. I got the cover and 4th piston, e clip, washer, spring, and part of the housing out no problem, but I ended up having to take out the trannie mount and loosen up the crossmember some and swing the trannie driver side a little bit to clear for the shaft to drop out. It was kind of a pita, but it had to be done.

I was about to post the same question. Now I know what I've got ahead of me tomorrow evening.

Removing the distributor cap is a bit of a pain with that SuperCoil on there...
