My 2003 V6 was not slipping but the OD light would come on and go out at random. Mechanic told me to bring it to him when light was on and do not turn off the engine. Said it was some external solenoid or whatever on the transmission and had me back on the road in 45 minutes. But if it is also slipping, it's going to be internal.
