Mechanic's Assistant: How old is the [transmission](/topics-transmission-ford/)? Have you noticed any leaking?
No leaking and I bought used about 3 yrs ago. So I am not sure how old it is.
Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Explorer yourself? What have you tried so far?
Putting transmission fluid in it
Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?
Also about 3 days ago the overdrive light started blinking when you drive it over 70, but would turn off if you stop the car and turn it off and back on

Good Morning
If it wont drive in reverse then the Transmission will need to be removed and rebuilt.
If it drives but gears don't shift then sometimes it can be repaired
The OD light blinking indicates that there are transmission codes being set
