CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 180k 4L60E vs. Fresh L36: Is a Corvette Servo/Shift Kit safe or a risk?

Rebuilt3800 · 12-31-2025, 10:31 PM

Hey everyone, I just picked up my first car a 2001 Camaro Convertible a couple months ago. It's the 3.8L L36 with the 4L60E automatic. The body has 180k miles, but the engine was just freshly rebuilt and only has 1,800 miles on it.

I've already started with the basics NGK 55 Copper V-Cut plugs and Ultima Select wires. My ultimate goal is to mod this car to out compete a stock LS1 V8. I know it's a big task for a V6 Vert, but I'm ready to put in the work.

I'm planning a transmission service (pan drop/filter) very soon and want to know if it's "safe" to add a Corvette Servo and a Shift Kit at 180k miles, or if the increased pressure will blow out my old seals?
