"check engine soon" light comes on after short highway drive (about 30 minutes). Then transmissions shifts hard from 1st to second gear, associated with a hard clunk when finally it shifts. Dealer has replaced a "'spring" with a heavier duty one, but fix is temporary. Code 1870 shows up as diagnosis at dealer. L60E transmissions are the culprit.
