Does your transmission slip between 2nd and 3rd gear? it was kinda a known issue for those at about 115k miles

IS it the OD light coming on? If it is my 2003 had the same problem. Brought it to my tranny guy who fix it in ten minutes. Seems there is some electrial/electronic device bolted to the tranny on the passenger side in need of replacing.
