[95stepside]

hi i have a 95 ford ranger with a 105000 miles i got in it yesterday and put it in reverse and it almost stalled so i tried it again and it went but when i was driving down the rode it would shift weird like 3rd gear to 1st gear then i would have to let of the gas to upshift if anybody has any ideas i would appreciate it. also the o/d light was blinking

First thing these guys are going to tell you. Pull codes.

If it is stalling into reverse, or acting like it, it could be a torque converter problem. The flashing O/D light is telling you something, like pimtool suggested, pull the codes.
