Transmission failure '97 Chevy venture
Hi there!
I posted sometime ago about my transmission problems. But here i go again The transmission quit working along time ago after it had been rebuilt the symptoms was as follows: The car feels like sludgie when I give gas and it wont barely move. I turn the car off for 10-15 seconds and start it up and i can again drive alittle bit around in the yard then the sludgie feeling comes back and i again turn it off and i have all gears again. I was told to check the VSS(Vehicle Speed Sensor) wich did turn out to be bad, but problem still persist. My next suspission is the Traction Control System is there anyway to disable that system more than button on dash? Or is there any other suggestions on what to check, my problem seems more electrical then mechanical considering that it works somewhat fine after i turn the car off. I did have an error code when the car first broke down P1870 or Transaxle component slipping So my hope goes out to you all Thank you for your time.

Re: Transmission failure '97 Chevy venture
I'm pretty sure one of your fuses can be pulled to temporarily disable the traction control. You'll probably lose ABS and a couple other things as well, but it might be a good way to test the problem.

Re: Transmission failure '97 Chevy venture
check the fluid level and condition. if its brown and smells burned you will probably need an overhaul. something else to consider though... your symptoms also sound much like a restricted exhaust

Re: Transmission failure '97 Chevy venture
without having more data, its hard to offer much, but if you want to disable the traction control and ABS, its quite easy to do. Disconnect any of the wheel sensors. Although I highly doubt thats your problem. Definitely sounds like a tranny issue. What you're discribing is limp mode, which usually only allows the tranny to run in 2nd gear, so it is very sluggish when taking off from a stop. The computer is sensing something wrong and disabling things to attempt to prevent further damage/keep it drivable so you can get off the road
