I bought a CZ unit out of a Monte Carlo SS for my Small block Corvette. He said he wasnt happy with the shifting and sold it for $100. I put it in as is and it had a 3rd gear flare. (my car only has about 325hp) I put in a CK Performance recalibration kit and his competition servo. Granted...

I see what you are asking now. Here is the adjustment procedure I have had best results with. 1. Disconnect the TV cable from carb 2. Have helper depress accelerator pedal from inside car 3. pull the ball (or connector) out as far as it will go 4. Adjust the cable housing so the cable is full...

Does this help?

Hi, I have a CK shift recalibration kit now that is about 4 years old and I love it. I am about to rebuild a spare transmission and the signal oil pipe is destroyed. I saw that the current CK recalibration kit says to omit the signal oil pipe and install a cup plug to block off only the rear...

Found it.

That crossed my mind too.

Hi all, I bought a core to try and rebuild. I pulled the pan just to have a look and its in bad shape for sure. Aside from a lot of sludge, I found this little spring. For fun, does anybody recognize it? Curious what could have failed to put that guy in the pan. It doesn't look chewed up at...

Sorry I wasnt clear. The two extra washers I added were thicker. They were about .08 each. The question I would like to know the answer to is, What is the length of the servo pin that CK uses on his new transmissions VS a stock pin? You are in a different situation since you have just...

Wiseman, I just went through this same exact issue. I was installing the CK servo in a stock CZ trans. First, I installed both washers that CK provides. My car would not shift out of first. I thought about it for a little and here is what I came up with. CK leaves out the 3rd accum piston in...

The bowtie kit will do it but you could also probably do it yourself. Their kit includes the brake switch, a lock up solenoid and a 4th pressure switch. They have you disconnect the third switch. use a different 4th pressure switch. (I "think" the difference is the new switch is an always on...

I have a 74 Vette and used the BTO lock up kit. You have to remove the pan to do it. My car did not have cruise control so I needed a different brake switch which was included in the kit. So here is how it works for me with my 3.55 gears. I stay in third gear no lock up around town. Once I...

.25 cents worth of washers might give you the space needed for the 20-121 to fit on your carb. See how mine has that kick out at the bottom, looks like you may could get away with using that corrector and the bracket they sell for the cable housing. That would be a MUCH cheaper solution...

Hey Mike, I converted my 74 Corvette to a 200-4R and called Bowtie Overdrives right after I saw that diagram shown above. (too much math for me) I am using a 4160 Holley though and the throttle linkage looks different from your 4150. I saw on BTO's site that they only have two Holley kits...

Lets do it! Money is sent for servo. Good talking with you this evening. Enjoy your new transmission.

I think I sent you a pm regarding the servo, (not familiar with this forum yet).
