The wires going up into the shift lever are prone to being pinched/broken/shorted so as your problem is intermittent it might be a good idea to pull up the shift boot and eyeball them. The shift lever I got from the boneyard for mine had these wires pinched and one broken at the spot where they go under the boot. It's also possible that they have become unplugged from the switch, the wires have connectors that push on the lugs on the OD switch so if you've been yanking around on any of those wires one might have come undone.

You can check OD switch circuit continuity between pins 85 and 15 (I think on 83 anyway...), put meter there and operate switch and at the same time hold switch in and wiggle the shifter around to see if there is any change.
