The Infamous P1870, That will cause a harsh 1-2 shift.

The most common cause is the Isolation-PWM Converter Valve has worn the Bore that it rides in.

The Actuator Feed Limit Bore wears as well, The controls pressure to the ISO-PWM Conv. Valve.

Sonnax makes fixes for both, Requires the Valve Body to be reamed for oversized valves. The Tool kit for both bores are around $800, So its not something a DIY'er wants to pay entry price for.

VBX is owned by Sonnax & will have all the updates, http://valvebodyxpress.com/prodView.php?theId=65
