The transmission lamp started blinking in mid drive.

This was the only light coming on, car seemed to shift like normal. No Check Engine light came on.

Yes, there are a number of issues that could be causing this.  Could be transmission temperature, a sensor or solenoid, or an internal problem with the TCM.  Have the codes (stored in the TCM) read to get an idea of what the problem is.  A dealer will likely have to do this.

Hi,
My S40's transmission light and check engine light started simultaneously blinking this afternoon, but unlike your situation, I could feel the difference in pick up/acceleration from a stop.  Scared to drive it now that I drove it home safely.  I'll have it towed to the mechanic.

Do you have any new info on what's going on with your transmission?
