[zeakieb1]

Just bought a 2000 s10 4cyl today while driving the service engine light came on stopped at autozone they said it a P1870 code "transmission componet slipping" fluid is brown and smells burnt but it seems to be shifting ok it does seem to slip in od when i speed up ,takes a second to go into reverse. i want to know if a fluid and filter change with lucas oil would help.

Just Fluid and filter change but no flush may help but forget the Lucas.

Lucas transmission is like motor honey.
Only use it with transmission on last leg to get a few more miles out of it

How is fluid level?
Check what is in the bottom of pan and filter when changing fluid and filter.
Post back what you find there.

thank you for the info i brought the truck back to the lot where i bought an he is going to have it fixed i was just thinking worst case if i had to fix it. i just hope they do a good job

Code 1870 a lot of times leads to internal transmission damage.
A lot of times usd car dealers will just put a band aid on the problem.
Get everything in writing.
And.

If you buy it make them give you a good full warranty on the transmission.
Good Luck

That is about the way car dealers do things.
