HI, I have recently encountered a problem I hope is just a censor but am not sure. Sometimes when I start driving I put my truck into gear and my overdrive light starts flashing. During this it will shift hard through 1st and second. If I pull over and turn it off and back on again it seems to reset itselfthe light stops flashing, and it drives great. Do you think it's my transmission or is my OD Off Light flashing acting as a code? What could be the problem?

Take it to a shop and have them scan your transmission and check for transmission code (not your computer).
