Installed CK springs in 3 units this weekend.

[Steve V]

1st was a customers car in for a convertor swap. Trans was fresh last summer stock servo setup. Did not notice any difference but also loosed the covertor. I wanted to be better safe than sorry.

2nd was my GN ,PTS servo 7k miles since rebuild,dual fed...did not notice any changes either. have CK plate modified CK shift kit also better safe than sorry.

3rd was my white T,stock servo,2k miles since rebuild 2 years ago. Felt to me like it had a drag 3 and 4th. Swap spring drags appears to be gone.,

So there's my feedback on the latest and greatest 200 mod,I understand not all units will show the drag and it may not be able to be felt.

I did the spring, shimmed the tv valve and changed my fluid. Everything seemed fine but now now I'm getting a 2-3 flair.

I'm doing mine next week and will report back. I don't notice any drag now, but I keep a lot of fuel economy logs on my work trips so I'll see if it shows up there at all.

 

[TurboBob]

what springs were in there that you swapped out?

There are two on the servo. Just replaced the one. It's the smaller of the two.

The one on the left is the new one.

I would reinstall orginal spring and see if the flare is gone.

Rick, you ever get this figured out?

 

[TurboBuRick]

I put the original spring back in. The new spring must not have been right for my particular servo.

What exactly does 2-3 flair or flair on any particular gear feel like?

Like your trans is slipping. You don't get that nice crisp shift.

 

[TurboBuRick]

Instead of a positive shift rpm will rise then fall (flair) as the next gear tries to grab.

EDIT: Sorry Raf I did not see your post as I was typing.

Good info.

I will add I have left mine alone and have no ill effects. I have driven the Gn a lot this fall. Several WOT beatings.
