that usually means your tranny is having problems.... with what im not too sure i dont like to deal much with transmissions, too many if ands or buts, but i certainly would post in the correct forum and see if that may turn up what the problem may be....good luck :)

your o/d light is flashing because there is a fault in your powertrain control management. it's most likely an electrical fault,possibly a stuck solenoid. disconnect the negative battery cable for about 15 minutes; this should reset the light. if it comes back on, then have the system flushed and filter replaced before going any further. if you have a scan tool, see if you can pull up any codes.also, check for the obvious--low fluid,clogged filter, etc... i wouldn't recommend attempting any transmission repairs without extensive mechanical knowledge.
