For a long time I thought I had a problem with my overdrive. In my truck I have a cable from the throttle that runs down to the drivers side of the transmission to a lever. In my case this lever was all gummed up and not returning all the way back. I just soaked it in penetrating oil and worked it back and forth until it moved properly again.
