The Smart-Tech ratio-style servo is all-in-one kit with unrivaled quality built into every component . Packed with track-proven features , it sets the new standard for elite Powerglide racing :
The show-stopping upgrade Sonnax debuted at the Performance Racing Industry Show is ready to take your 2017 racing program to the next level . Engineered from the ground up to prevent every servo-related problem , the Sonnax Smart- Tech ® ratio-style servo advances the Powerglide transmission to new levels that back up extreme horsepower with never-before-seen reliability .
Band failures , broken shafts and staging issues have plagued the Powerglide for years . The root of the problem is the pin bias effect — flaws in the outdated servo design that modern servos like the C4 , C6 and 4L60 completely avoid . Overcoming the pin bias effect is critical for improving the reliability of this capable transmission . The Sonnax Smart-Tech servo is the first to do so with
• Eliminates pin bias effect
• Supported servo design stops piston binding
• Significantly lighter spring prevents staging issues and backing up when trans brake is applied
• Delivers more total net apply force than any stock-sized servo
• Allows greater tuning of high clutch apply to prevent tire spin and pedaling after the shift
• Prevents input shaft failure due to tie-up on shift
• Ends need to calibrate servo return spring to line pressure or varying case depth
