Hello transmission forums. I am new to TRS. Sold my 2019 cuz it was just sitting in the driveway. I work from home now due to Covid and the beautiful Red Pepper with Black Trim Pkg. became and expensive driveway ornament. So sold it and bought a couple old Rangers. A 99 2.5 Automatic, and an 89 2.9 v6 with a manual. I am not building them or restoring them, just havin some fun..... with no big car payment. So the 99 is in pretty good shape only 120K. Did the basics, tire, shocks, tran. fluid & gasket, valve cover gaskets, seat covers, and a good clean up. Now the problem that seems it could lead to a bigger problem, the Over Drive dash light is flashing, I was slowing down from about 60 mph and it felt like a down shift and the dash light started blinking. Can anyone tell me what to expect. My wife (in the profile picture) is a retired mechanic and she said we have to check for any codes. The little research I did seemed to indicate that the flashing OverDrive indicator light could be the sign of a serious problem. It did stop flashing after turning off the engine and restarting, but I am thinking that there could be trouble yet to come. Anyone in this forum have some input on what the problem could be?
