Overdrive light flashing

My overdrive light has been flashing recently and the truck is shifting rough. Most people are telling me that my transmission is shot, but, the truck isn't slipping gears or nothing. I don't know if it could be the modulator or a vaccuum problem, I'm completely
stumped and was wondering if anybody has had these problems and could give me a few suggestions.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The flashing light means that there is something wrong with the transmission system. It could be the transmission, a sensor, or a wiring problem.

You need to have someone read the code that is stored in the computer to find out what caused the problem. It isn't a vacuum or modulator problem because your transmission doesn't use either.
