Overdrive light flashing?

Thanks for the response, there are no codes showing. In the mornings when transmission is cold, it does not what to shift into overdrive, but after driving for about a mile and a half it shifts smoothly the rest of the day. Truck shifts smoothly other than that.

The overdrive light started flashing the other day. Had them check at Jiffy Lube but they said it was a sealed trans and had to go to the dealer. They did give me the computer code which said it was some kind of pressure solenoid B. I assume that is in the transmission. I have an appointment at the dealer tomorrow to diagnose it.

The manual says that when this light flashes have the transmission serviced, which does not seem so bad but over the phone the service guy sure made it sound likely to be huge.

The service guy on the phone started telling me how much it is for a new transmission--$4000. This is making me uneasy. Does replacing the solenoid usually take care of it or is it more likely that the transmission need replacement for this car?
I don't have the $$ for a new one.
Can you give me any insight?
Thanks

Just had the car put on the road after a minor accident. Had the right front hub bearings replaced and when my husband was driving to work the overdrive light started flashing and check transmission came up. We took it to a servicer and they said it pulled the gear ratio error in gear 5. Is there anything that can be done as we do not have $2000 to have the transmission rebuilt

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer(V6) and as I was driving down the highway my Overdrive light starts flashing(I was not towing anything) what could this be.

I noted that my auto trans has a delay on the shifts. I press on gas and does not respond according. The engine rpm increases and the gears delay to engage. So, I have to depress the pedal and then it engages. Also the OD light starts blinking. Sometimes, it works perfect. What should I do?
I was thinking of changing the trans fulid and filter.

Do you have the procedure to change the trans fluid? I would appreciate to have it has well.

Not, yet. The Service Engine Soon Light is on but I did not have a chance to retrieve the code as I had to leave home couple of days after that to work. I'll do that when I get home. Will be the first thing to do before touching anything. I hope is not serious.

I will let you know when I get the codes.

Thanks.

I have an '02 exlorer and mine does the same thing I have no idea why though I will be watching your question hopefully WE can get and answer

I've retrieved the code and it's: P0747 (Pressure Control Solenoid A).

Now I do have another problem: After been driving like that for couple of days after experiencing shift delays, the car won't go on reverse. I tried and it went with difficulties. I parked the car and quit driving it. Also re-scanned to see if there's a new code and just says the only code which is P0747.

Is it serious?

Ok. The code is P0747. My idea was to change the trans fluid 7 filter before that. Now I need help on what I have to do. Where is the Pressure Solnoid A located. Just replace this solenoid or it's better to replace all at once if they're in one block/pack.
