Three problems related to transmission gear slipping have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet Camaro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The problem is the transmission is slipping bewteen gears between 50-55 and 60-65. Transmission replaced once in December. Brought it in again in January due to the same problem, and dealer said it was normal for a gradual acceleration, I must accelerate fast to not slip. Wanted to report this to determine if this is normal or if there is a problem. Dealer stated it should smooth out.
My Camaro has been in the shop presenting the p1870 transmission code approximately 10 times. The dealer has performed over 2000 warrantied major work on the transmission prior to 36000 miles. I am still having repeated problems with the transmission and have looked up the technical service bulletins only to find that there are many regarding the transmission-automatic and the computer presenting the p1870 code. I am repeatedly told that nothing is wrong with the car and that they cannot duplicate the problem. However the service engine soon light is still coming on indicating transmission slippage. I have contact gm with no reply. You would think after performing $2500 worth of useless repair work that they would have put in a rebuilt transmission or offered help to me in another way. It is slowly becoming a safety and punitive matter to me.
Transmission slipping when going up hills or any similar terrain. Nlm.
