ok i have looked all over online and can not find my particular problem. i might not be hitting key words but here it is.

i have a 97 1500 sport 4x4 318. after 20 min of driving today country miles my i got a shift flare from 3-4. then my overdrive turned off. i noticed my trans temp light was on. i was 2 min from the house. so i let the truck sit for a while and test drove again. as soon as it hit 3-4 shift it flared like in neutral dropped back into 3rd for a sec and shift flared like in neutral again before going into 3rd. then my od turned off and about 30 sec after that my trans temp light came on. tranny fluid doesnt smell burnt and doesnt look like it has clutch material in it. is this a mechanical issue or a ecm/control issue. im not trying to drive it too much and smoke a tranny. any help is appreciated.
