I remember on my conotur that happed rightbrefor my tranny went!!! I do have a check engine i have not addressed yet... The Over drive light will not come on while i am drive just flases like every 5 stars 16 tiems then foes away,.. i tihnk the car may need a motor mount but it shifts effortlessly!!!

i dont know ur problem, but my OD light will blink 16 times exactly wen i disconnect the drop resistor. does it shift very hard around the time when the od light blinks? the check engine light may have come on because of that

Count them, see which is the longest flash, then pull codes. Chances are CEL is for trans code(s). If it's a 4th gear code, get ready to replace solenoids or trans (that was the case on my 2nd and 3rd trans). If it's a shift pressure or solenoid code, check solenoids and drop resistor. Check stickies for info about above.
