Could it be as simple as the rubber buffer below the solenoid plunger going
rotten and disappeared? This could also apply to adjustable metal stop on
the other model.
The solenoid will only work reliably if the plunger is well up into the
solenoid. If too low there is insufficient magnetic circuit to reliably
pull the plunger in.
I have had this where the overdrive does not always engage and sometimes
would disengage without a reason
