Well, this story closes with the O/D still not working. I decided that the cost to repair that unit might be considerable, when I would prefer to replace the whole transmission with a new 6-speed unit instead. We'll have to wait for a windfall before I undertake that project! However, one question still remains. With the Overdrive switched off (no D on dashboard), I can down shift and feel the engine slowing down the car. With the Overdrive enabled (D on dashboard), I can downshift, but not feel the engine slowing me down. Any clues that explain this behavior would be appreciated!

To close this out...I took the car to a shop back in the late winter. The pulled the OD out and needed to replace some parts. S&k Speed came through with the parts. The car drives down the highway just great now.
