Weird Tranny Problem 700

Hey all, Just yesterday ~100 miles into my trip while driving my 760ti on the highway, the overdrive kept shutting off. If I would press the pedal 1 or 2 inches to speed up, or if there was a small hill, it would kick up ~1,000 RPMS (it was coming out of overdrive). The OD light on the dash board didn't come on. It did respond when I would press the OD button on my shifter, but I don't want to take it out of OD. I had to drive over 100 miles back home today with my engine at 3,500-4,500RPMS. This is not right. It sometimes would go into overdrive if I purposely gave it less gas, but to maintain speed, it was kicking in and out of overdrive every 15 seconds or so. The kickback cable seems to be retracting fine. I can hear the relay click (quietly) when i turn the OD off with the switch, so I think that is fine. I have not brought it in to anyone yet, but I have been on the brickboard reading about the overdrive solenoid? A new tranny is out of the question for my wallet, so I'm hoping for some other possibilities. Thanks.
