Supported Servo Master Kit

SUPPORTED SERVO MASTER KIT(POWERGLIDE)

Conventional GM Powerglide servos are not well-supported and the return springs do not function properly, both leading causes of band failure. This supported servo master kit is an all-in-one kit that eliminates piston binding and includes a race-calibrated spring to counteract the pin bias effect.

At high apply pressures or with a worn servo pin bore, the servo piston is side-loaded in the case, causing friction and binding of the piston. The supported pin design of this kit eliminates friction caused by side-loading and ensures the servo piston will apply and release without binding.

"Mystery" band failures are a common result of aftermarket servo return springs and weak OE springs prone to collapse that do not reliably release the servo. The Sonnax spring in this kit is race-calibrated to ensure consistent servo function for longer band life and a cooler transmission. The spring's higher seat pressure helps ensure full servo release, but also features a lower spring rate to prevent excessive release force in the apply position.

  • Unique cover and pin combination eliminates piston binding that causes unexplained band failure
  • Race-calibrated spring counteracts pin bias effect up to 275 psi
  • Dual PTFE seal rings for better seal and low friction
  • OE apply area
  • Low-profile design ensures adequate clearance
  • 6061 Anodized billet aluminum cover
