What is the condition and level of the fluid in the transmission? Slip codes aren't a good thing and could mean burnt clutches or bands. You'll probably have to swing into a transmission shop and have them diagnose it.

Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 9, 2012, 6:50 PM Post #4 of 4 (6293 views) Re: gmc sonoma tranny problems Sign In p1870 means the PCM is seeing that the torque converter is slipping. When this happens the PCM goes full line pressure, unlocks the converter, and can take the transmission out of 4th gear if it sees the fluid temperature getting too high. You should drop the pan and check for bronze in the bottom of the pan. The stator shaft bushing is bronze and could be allowing pressure to bleed out causing the torque converter clutch to slip. You should take it into a trans shop and have them check it out. The slippage going on can overheat the fluid and take out the rest of the clutches in the tranny if you keep driving it that way.
