Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY AND IT CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO BREAK, I WENT TO THE DEALER WHEN I FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM OF A HARD SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN LONG DISTANCES. THE DEALER SAID THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING FINE AND TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. THIS WAS BACK ON 08/19/02 AND NOW I HAVE A CODE 1870 ON THE COMPUTER AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. I FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION IS A 4L60E AND IT IS VERY UNRELIABLE. ALSO I ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE MY WATER PUMP AND ALTERNATOR AND MY GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO. *JB
