It doesn't necessarily mean that. You need to take it somewhere and have it hooked up to a scanner to find out what the transmission code is.............

If the fault code is serious enough it will cause the OD light to blink on and off. I had a spark plug misfire that got bad enough for the OD light to flash. I'd make sure that your check engine light is connected, or not burned out since the two typically go together.
