hard 1-2 shift fix
I have a 2006 GMC and just today the transmisison started shifting really hard from 1st to 2nd gear. Check engine light is also on. The truck is a 2006 GMC Sierra 4 wheel drive with a 5.3 liter V8. Any ideas?

Re: hard 1-2 shift fix
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 |
