I've had an 1870 code for quite some time. The car feels like it has no power in 1st gear and the exhaust is heavier than normal. After driving I can smell a burnt smell.

Any thoughts? I've changed teh transmission fluid already and used seafoam to clean it also.

P1870 Trouble Code; "Transmission Componet Slippage"

What year is the Riviera?

I think that trans is on its last legs

Its a '96 with 123,000.

Other than having no power when I first accelerate it runs fine.

check for a vac leak around the lines that go to the front of the tranny.
how does the fluid look? level?

on the 1996 4L60e, to fix the 1870 code we stake the TCC regulated apply valve in the full-open position, which eliminates the PWM function. With the pwm function locked down, it then functions like a regular lockup. You don't need to reflash the PCM.

Don't know about the 4T60... I suppose it would be similar but you may want to check it out. THe 4L60e transgo shift kit addresses the issue. I don't know if the 4T60e transgo kit addresses it, butit includes the PWM valve, lock-up regulator valve & bushings.

With a 123000 miles you might as well spend your time shopping around for a rebuild transmisson.
