I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. I replaced the o-rings on
the accumulator and the problem went away. I don't know if there is any
connection, but overdrive problem occurred about six months after I started
using Redline MTL. When I refilled the gearbox, I used straight 30 weight
non-detergent oil because I thought that I might have to open the box again
to replace the rings in the accumulator.
