Kirban 200-R4 Super Servo Kit - Worth it?

[Coelacanth]

I'll be replacing my transmission filter & fluid this season and while I was down there, I was going to make sure the TV plunger is flush with the bushing when at WOT. While browsing the various GN parts vendors online, I saw this "200-R4 Super Servo Kit" at Kirban Performance. Has anybody used this recently and is it worth buying this upgrade?

If your pretty much stock then I would leave the stock servo in the transmission. Just changing to a larger servo without any other modifications to the transmission could cause a 2-3 shift timing issue. For now I would leave it alone.

Sounds good, thanks. Yes, it's stock now.

I would stick with stock servo, works much better than that servo can ever work. I had a box full of them here from take outs.

Think I may have the same servo the OP is referring to. Care to elaborate on possible quirks of that unit?

No cushion spring, makes for clunky shifts.

You can make that servo work you just don't install it using the supplied instructions.

Turns out mine must be a sonnax after scouring the net for photos.

Well, thanks for the replies...and saving me some money. I have about a grand (Canadian, so about $250 USD lol) to throw into the car this summer and would like to avoid products with dubious benefits to the car.
