I have a 1994 ford cube van with a 7.3 and automatic transmission with overdrive. I am having problems with the transmission. When driving, it shifts up and down between the gears and while this is happening the overdrive light flashes I did take it to a trany shop and let them drop the pan and visually ck for metal shavings. They said things look good inside as far as what they could see and detect from the absents of many metal particles. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on it. I am hoping could be a quick fix. Has anyone had to deal with this problem or would know what I can do to try and fix it myself

Take a couple of minutes to pull the trouble codes, sounds like you might have a bad vehicle speed sensor. Simple fix if thats all thats wrong.
