Question 2000 Ranger Transmission Problems

Ok it just might be the transmission is on its last leg but I need help.

As of Sunday the Overdrive light is flashing periodically. Not every time but I would say about 50% of the time.

And now I noticed that its not catching gears as easy as it used to now the motor revs to about 3000 RPM's and barely catches from 1st to 2nd. If I let off the gas it will catch. Between all gears its seems to be doing the same thing.

Are the 2 problems related? Any help wpuld be appreciated. Will trans cleaner/treatment help Here are the vitals on the truck

180,000 Miles.
Yes I am still paying on it

Is the fluid level OK? How does the fluid look? Has it been flushed regularly?

The flashing OD indicates the PCM my have a code, some parts store will pull the codes for free.

just did a 14 point oil change (and radiator flush) fluid level is clean and a lil over full thats why I dont wanna put the cleaner in there yet til that goes down. I might have em flush it this w/e. 180,000 is pretty good though even if it does go out. but I want it to go MORE MORE MORE I wanna go to 1,000,000 miles darn it. I will go back to Auto Zone and have em read it. I wasnt sure if it would come up with anything since its not a check engine light problem.

if you are talking about the codes, you can have codes with or without a CEL.
