[Healeys] overdrive again

This is the continuing saga of my overdrive problems.

Stopped working just before storage for the winter.
Checked electricals to find poor connection on overdrive switch
Overdrive works for about 2 miles then quits
Pull cover again and find that selenoid has shorted (may have been mice)
Replaced selenoid and works fine.
2 days later go to first car show of the season and overdrive stops working
after 3 miles.
At car show turn on key and overdrive switch and rock shift lever-no click
Drive home, park the car for 2 hours, turn on key and overdrive switch and
rock shift lever-CLICK.

Did I miss an adjustment here?

Thoughts are appreciated.
