Transmission light flashing

The light on the shifter end is flashing and the transmission is shifting very hard. A very hard upshift specially from 3rd to 4th. I figure it is a pressure problem or the lockup is staying engaged. Anybody had this happen to them? Let me know.

Thanks

the trans is in limp mode,is your tach working?if so you should start by checking for dirty or loose connectors on side of the trans.you could unhook the batts for about 15 to 20 minutes to clear the codes also then drive it and see if the problem comes back.or have a good shop pull the codes for you.mine was doing this and the TC was bad.but it also had 136,000 on it and reverse was slipping.how many miles are on that trans?

Transmission has about 100000kms or 60000 miles on it. I have to think it is a presure problem or the lock up is not working properly.

I have a New Star Generation testor but I have'nt tested it yet.
