Some cars did had the system you describe, but not yours as it left the
factory as far as I know. It is more likely to be slight wear here and
there in the gearbox and overdrive gear switch giving an intermittent
contact. If you can screw the switch into the gearbox a little more it
should solve the problem, although it is a bit of a pig to get to.
