Hard kick back from transmission

[Jtels2593]

I have the same problem on my '00 Camaro that I did on my '99. The transmission works fine, shifts smooth, but after driving on the highway for about 15-30 minutes, I get off at my exit, when the light turns and I take off, the transmission shifts hard going into 2nd and 3rd and will continue doing so until I shut the car off and give it a rest for a few minutes.

I never investigated the problem with my '99 as I sold it a few weeks after the problem began. Is there a simple repair or anything that I should be concerned about?

Thanks, Joe

Does this happen regardless of the amount youre pressing down on the gas?

Search P1870 code. This is one of the first symptoms of a worn TCC valve.

Start with the simple stuff. Check the fluid level, color, consistency, etc.

Just Dump some Trans-X in there she'll shift smoother then a babies bottom!

So this Tcc valve where do you purchase it at and how hard is it to replace. I think I will try replacing that and while I'm there maybe a Corvette servo

You are precisely describing P1870. I bought one online and took it to a mechanic to install.

you'll have to go to a transmission place to have it done. And yes while you are there I would do a servo and maybe a shift kit too ( i a transgo HD2 shift kit for sale)

Meh, you don't need to go to a shop to have it done. Can be done at home if you feel like it. **** I did mine when I was ~17. Just search the P1870 code like previously mentioned and you'll find a ton of info.
