[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 893164, member: 52972"] beufort67, The 5R55E is known for this problem. The light is supposed to signify when the transmission is slipping during shifts (shift flare). The 4 speed version had so many problems with slipping during shifts that they added sensors to check the speed of the gears in the transmission to determine if any gear was turning at the wrong speed. That did not fix the problem and many transmissions are too far gone before the O?D lights starts blinking. The solenoids/valvebody are the cause of the problem and the infamous blinking O/D light, however there are many cases were the slippage causes excessive wear on the bands and clutches that requires a major rebuild.... So brace yourself. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
