Consumer Description

CODE 1870 IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON MULTIPLE WEB SITES. THE ALUMINUM VALVE HOUSING IS TOO SMALL AND WEARS OUT QUICKLY. THE SYMPTON IS A VERY HARD SHIFT FROM 1-2 AND 2-3 AS IF BEING REAR-ENDED ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE IS HOT. CHEVY HAS REENGINEERED TO A BIGGER VALVE BUT STILL WANTS IT'S CUSTOMERS TO PAY HALF OF $2000 FOR A $350-$950 PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY IT'S WARRENTY. SONNEX MAKES A STEEL REPLACEMENT AND CAN VERIFY HOW FREQUENT THE PROBLEM IS. CHEVY'S ALUMINUM REPLACEMENT IS QUESTIONABLE, LET ALONE THE DEAL THEY OFFER. *AK
