2001 OLDS AURORA problem
Year = 2001
Mileage = 150000
Engine size = 3.1 ? V-6
codes = P1811
work done prior = TRANSMISSION REBUILT
work done to repair = NEW SOLENOID
BOOST KIT PUT IN TRANNY
LOTS OF INVESTIGATING
tech = SF
question = MY AURORA IS SHIFTING HARD, IN EVERY GEAR IT DOESN'T DO IT
ALL THE TIME
OR EVERY DAY BUT DOES SEEM TO DO IT
AFTER YOU SIT FOR A WHILE OR DRIVE FOR A WHILE!! SOMEONE SAID MY
MANIFOLD GASKET COULD BE LEAKING CAUSING IT TO DO THIS!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT
U THINK
MY CAR HAS BEEN LOOKED AT FOR A MONTH NOW AND THE MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE
IT OUT!!! PLEASE HELP ME
SF:
Hello and welcome.
First i would need to know if the trans. was rebuilt to repair this code, or was rebuilt for another
reason- and now the code and shifting hard are occurring. I will wait for your reply.

Vehicle make/model 1998 Chevy Tahoe
Mileage = 160,021
Engine size = 350
dash lights = yes
codes = p1870
work done prior = none
work done to repair = Checked the code "trans slipping"
checked fluid, full, and clean (red)
I believe the fluid psi solenoid is bad.
Tech = any
question = normally the vehicle runs fine..
Then when put under a load or driven hard (highway), the light comes on
and the trans shifts funny.
When the trans acts up, the 1-2 shift is very harsh, and a burning
smell is present.
Upon sitting parked for around 1 hour, the trans is fine until you
apply torque to it again.
I will be changing the filter tomorrow, but would like your opinion.
SF:
P1870-component slipping, can be caused by a problem in the valve body, but with that
many miles on it, it may just be time to overhaul because of slipping components, The
condition of the fluid-if burnt, means trans. Needs to come apart and look for a failure.
Again, with that many miles, probably just worn out. Try the filter and fluid change to see if it
helps. The hard shifts are most likely caused by the line pressure being raised to
compensate for a slipping component.
