Depending on the vechicle it could be complex or simple. For example on my 85 Trooper the cause for it not shifing into overdrive was a burnt out lightblub on the transmission dash board. Strange as it might seem turns out Isuzu designed the overdrive so that it wouldn't work if the light went out! The cost to fix this was about 39 bucks as I recall however I DID have one shop tell me I needed a whole new Transmission!! That would have cost thousands had I taken their advice. Whoever you get to check it out make sure you get a second opinion if it sounds like it will cost a lot.

When to turn off overdrive in your car?
The overdrive should be switched off when you want to avoid unneccessary shifting. If you are driving on a hilly road, the vehicle will shift out of overdrive going uphill to maintain speed while pulling the vehicles weight up the hill, and shift into overdrive going down the hill to save fuel when additional engine power is not needed. When towing with an automatic transmission, the vehicle may tend to repeatedly shift in and out of overdrive due to the added weight. In scenerios such as these, you should turn off the overdrive to avoid the unneccesary shifting which puts more wear and tear on the transmission.
