"This is 99 out of a hundred times attributable to the o-rings on the
accumulator housing. They get hard and shrink and allow the hydraulic
pressure
to bleed around the accumulator piston which acts upon the twooperating
pistons. So, pull the accumulator and R&R the o-ring(s)"
 
This is good
advise. Before you proceed you might want to know the hydraulic pressure the
overdrive is making vs the specification. I can provide an A Type
Overdrive Oil Pressure Gauge so that you can easily measure the oil pressure
the overdrive unit is making as it functions or doesn't. See this link:
