> so what could be the cause of stuck on and what are the remedies?

First check whether power is getting to the solenoid.  If so, it's an
electrical problem and you can troubleshoot in the usual fashion.

Another possibility is that the OD clutch is stuck inside the brake ring.  A
few good raps with a hammer on the brake ring (visible as a dark iron stripe
around the body of the OD) may be enough to free it up.

Beyond that, it would help to know whether it's an A-type (early TR6) or
J-type (late TR6).

While you are under there, inspect the rear housing of the OD where it necks
down (before the output flange).  If there are cracks visible, then it's
time to pull the gearbox and repair the damage from backing up with the OD
engaged.
