Answer 1

the trans has some small metal balls that change the direction of the oil to make your trans shift and stuff

so.... what is the problem?

with the pass of the time, and dont change the oil regularly, the oil loose detergent and other chemicals and it starts to make sludge, that make the metal balls cant move freely and the oil cant pass properly to make the correct funtion

if you change the oil you can fix your problem but beware you can also damage you trans turn it to death, new oil came with a lot of deterget and it will wash your trans but all those dirt can stuck even more your trans and maybe need rebuild

consult a professional trans shop for better details

Answer 3

It may be your driving style, and/or terrain.
The overdrive is not for acceleration, or for what is considered "normal" driving.
It is designed to be used in relatively flat areas when sustained high way speeds are expected.
If you have not been using it as designed, it will fail early.
So just stay with normal (non-overdrive) until you are where it is designed to work.

I am assuming this is an auto trans. This trans is electrically controlled. It also has an ECU (brain) that controls it and keeps a memory of electrical problems. You should check for codes in the brain before doing anything else.
