I have a 96 LT1 Firebird that threw a code other day. Cde was P1870. Trans has 144k on it. What should or can I do about this? Thanks for any help

Code P1870 is the code set for excesive converter slip . Generally its caused by one of the following. 1- restricted PWM solenoid screen, 2-worn converter lockup clutch, 3- worn Converter regulator valve bore in valve body , And with that number of miles its likley all of the above I am afraid .

This seems like the perfect thread to praise the gang at Performabuilt!!. I bought a converter from them(for wifes' B4C Camaro) and have had nothing but good solid runs with it!! I build it she drives it(well if i'm good I get to go gas it up sometimes).They are straight shooters who do an outstanding job, when the trans dies, I'm getting one from them!!. $.025
