4L60E Question
I'm dropping an LT1/4L60E into my 84 and have a couple questions. I'm using a tranny from a 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood and have read a ton of conflicting information, so I need definite answers to set the record straight. Here goes:
1) Does this tranny from the Caddy have the larger "corvette" servos? (it was mated to an LT1).
2) Should I need a servo, what should I get? Do I need 1/2 shift & 3/4 shift or what exactly should I do? How about longer pin? I'm kinda lost with the servo thing. I understand what it does, just not exactly what components I need. This is a stock LT1 and not for racing.
3) Is the tailshaft longer than the stock 700r4 coming out of it?
Any help here is greatly appreciated.

True. However, I wish to have the larger servos for better shifting. The question was does the Caddy 4l60e have these large servos? If not, which servo(s) should I get? They range from $20 to $200 on ebay, depending on what you get (2nd only, 2/4, ect.). Is the longer pin a good idea? Just need help sorting this out. Thanks.

I have had good luck with those kits. I would use only 1 spacer on the 1-2 accumulator. Also check for cracks on the plastic piece that applies pressure on it. If there are any cracks get one from a 80LE.
Vette servo is a good idea. Run one shim with it and it will shift well.
Good luck with your car!
