Since the J type overdrive is also operated hydrolically, could you drain the
gearbox oil to disable it? I'm not suggesting this as a fix, but to diagnose
whether it is the overdrive or the gearbox that is causing the problem. When
you drain the gearbox will you drain the overdrive to the point where the
hydrolics no longer have any oil, or will there be oil trapped in the
overdrive housing?

That is good to know.
Assuming that it is the overdrive that is causing it, what can be done to fix
it?
Is it a matter of locating the problem with the solinoid mechanisim and fixing
it? How complicated is this? If the overdrive has been damaged how can it be
bypassed so that no further damage is done, until the time comes to rebuild or
replace it. Money is an issue right at the moment.
