It retards / slows the timing up and makes the transmission shift hard. The engine has to be running right for the transmission to work right. It would really help to know the year. There could be other problems depending on the year.

Sometimes car will run rough od light will come on car and it won't switch from off to on could it be od switch not working trans will go to lower gear took it to dealer they have no clue how to fix?
You don't mention what make or model your vehicle is, but some have a Transmission Range Sensor (TRS or DTRS) that will affect the overdrive and downshifting of the transmission. It is located on the side of the transmission and any misalignment of the sensor will cause those symptoms. However, I don't think that same sensor will make the engine run rough - but it certainly affects as mentioned above. If the SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT is ON, or has come ON lately, have it diagnozed, I am sure you will find the problem.

1992 corvette runs and idles very rough I get a code 72 VSS Does that have anything to do with the rough running or what might it be?
Code 72- VSS signal circuit error. Check the VSS and circuit for short to ground or open circuit, a bare wire can cause an intermittent problem. Verify this first. Also check the VSS to make sure no excessive material has built up on the magnetic end, such material from the transmission wearing over a period of time cause deposit fine shavings on sensor head interfering with sensor operation. Wipe clean with paper (not cloth) towel to remove material and reinstall. A newly rebuilt transmission can deposit these quick enough as the transmission is "breaking in". If all else checks out, replace sensor.
