I've got just a slight problem. Whenever I switch on my overdrive button, it will just kick in and out when i'm driving along.

I'll be going down the highway with overdrive on, then all of a sudden, it'll just kick out of overdrive, and my rpm's will jump up as if i were still in "4th gear." It'll then suddenly kick back into overdrive and drop back to the normal, lower, "5th gear" rpm's. It'll just keep kicking in and out of overdrive until i turn off the button completely. The interesting thing is, whenever it kicks in and out of overdrive, the actual overdrive light on the dash remains lit the entire time.

Does anyone know what might be goin on with my car? Might it just be a loose wire somewhere, or could it be something more serious?

I'd appreciate any info/help........thanks.
