Hey guys, know anything about this problem? When I apply the brake on our 740, it speeds up somewhat. Not enough to lose control but enough to be noticeable and annoying.

Second, the overdrive arrow icon is coming on by itself - and it actually goes into overdrive on its own. It's not just the light coming on. What do you think, a loose electrical connection somewhere along the path? (Btw, once it comes on I cannot make it go away by just pressing the overdrive button back off - it stays on for about a minute or more, then I can switch it off. But I used to be able to switch it on and off at will by pressing the switch, on the gear shift knob).
