P1870 Transmission Component Slipping - 1996 Cutlass Supreme

[jsomethin]

Check Engine light came on, and it read a P1870. I haven't noticed any transmission issues at all. However, it has stalled once right after starting and putting it in reverse...then another time it took a good 10 seconds before starting.

 

Was curious if maybe they're related? Perhaps a neutral safety switch? I think I read that sometimes that will cause a P1870. Has anybody else experienced this?

 

Car runs fantastic otherwise, and aside from those two times starts just fine, and always shifts smoothly.

 

125k miles..

 

thanks!!

Clear the codes, see what (if anything) comes back.
