E4OD trans problem

I have a 96 f150 with a 302/E4OD and the trans seems to lose the electronic signal and the od light flashes. When this happens it shifts really hard at 2500-3000rpm and the convereter lock-up is affected. It also downshifts into first hard when stopping. It goes away and comes back on occasion but recently it has been very often.

Also the speedometer still works when this happens as does the odometer.

read codes.

you can replace od light switch.

or the wires need resoldering.

Talking

I found out my problem. It ended up being the speedometer itself. I swapped it out of another 96 and I havent had the problem since in 6000 miles.
