Transmission shifting very hard into second gear. Now transmission does not shift into second at all and there is no reverse. Apparently this problem with the 4l60e transmission is very common.

Transmission front seal blew out at speed on free-way. Dumping fluid. Transmission needed to be rebuilt with only 59000 miles on it.
I own an 1998 chevy S10 pick-up truck. Some time last year I started to get a p1870 trouble code. When I took it to the dealer I was told that my transmission needed to be replaced at the cost of $2,300. At the time the transmission only had 61,000 miles on it. I researched the problem and found that this is a big problem with these transmissions. I believe that gm should take responsibility for this faulty transmission.
