Angry 2001 Dakota trans issues

O.K guys, I need help and can't find any info on youtube that would help me figure this out, recently changed fluid filter and pressure switch, over drive sensors, speed sensors, it kinda felt like it wasn't shifting right, Then ecm was going bad so replaced it with a re-manufacturer one did fine got the check engine light off, and after about 3000 miles later the trans temp light and the over-drive light will flash on kick out of over drive just for a few seconds then go off and change back up, Is it possible i could have got some bad parts ? Here's a video i made of what it's doing.......
Thanks.......

A trans temp and overdrive light is likely related to a slipping/failing torque converter clutch.

Since it started shortly after the fluid change what fluid/filter(s) are you're using? What engine too?

It's a 3.9 atf+4, so sounds like a rebuild huh ? It's got 151,000 miles...But i know it's not getting that hot, because it will come on about a mile or two down the road surely that's not long enough to get that hot.....

There is a temperature sensor that may have failed. You'd need a scanner that can read the TCM to verify.

O.K, After my attempt to save a buck or two and putting in some cheap parts, took it to the shop they put it on a scanner (not a cheap hand held one) and determined it was the governor pressure solenoid so maybe a rebuild is still down the road I hope, so maybe after some oem parts this will fix the problem.......
