Welcome to this forum! A flashing overdrive light means that the computer has a transmission fault code stored. Don't drive like this (hard shifting). The system is going into limp (FMEM) mode with increased pressure which is controlled by the EPC solenoid. You said that it's a new transmission. Have the shop which installed it scan your computer to retrieve the code.
