Well, do you know what type of tranny you have? How many cylinder? What model vehicle?

'95 Explorer will have a 4.0 OHV engine and a 4R55E transmission. The flashing OD light indicates that the computer has detected the fault. Best first step would be to pull codes from the computer and see what the computer has to say. Most '95's were EEC-IV, so you should be able to pull codes with nothing more than a paper clip. See Ken00's tech info post at the top of the BII forum for instructions on pulling EEc-Iv codes.
