    That is what seems to be the most common issue, but it is impossible to tell over the internet.

      I'm going to give the $22 part a try - What have I got to lose?

        I ordered the part yesterday. How long do you think it will take to get here? I've never dealt with the company before.

          FOLLOW UP -

          I had the hard shift problem from 1-2, especially after the car had been driving for a while (ie, warmed up). The car eventually gave a code P1870.

          I ordered the $22 Code P1870 fix part. It is a replacement valve. I paid a mechanic to install it.

          Four months later - the problem has never returned again.

          I highly recommend giving this a try for anyone getting hard 1-2 shifts and/or code
          P1870.

            As a matter of background, this occurred when my car was in the ~167,000 mileage range.

                        It absolutely fixed the problem for me. I thought my tranny was dying before and now everything is back to normal.
