first of all we need to find out what codes your transmission has. they will be stored in memory. unfortunately you will have to bring it to a repair shop to do that.

is there any signs that each will show when they are going??? my cars overdrive light is blinking and when i drive the car feels and sounds almost as if it were in neautral but than it will kick in and feel fine.... are those signs leaning towards transmission or torque converter?
