Could just be a solenoid or other electrical issue, not necessarily mechanical.

And if it is mechanical, I don't know if just the tail section is replaceable or not

See if there are any stored computer codes for the overdrive solenoid/circuit. The OD light tells you nothing

Do a search for 'Key Dance' and learn how to pull codes from the computer without a scanner, or goto AZ or someplace else.

If there is a mechanical issue, the overdrive unit will send abrasive metal throughout the tranny and that means full rebuild.$$$$$$$$$$$$$
