Discovered that one of the wires on my switch became unsoldered and was "bouncing" off the other wire, therefore turning my overdrive on and off. Also found out a tight grasp and a tug will pop the overdrive switch out of the shift column.

What does it mean when your overdrive band has failed?

It is not really a band, but a set of clutches, or a clutch pack. It means that you no longer have a 4th gear (overdrive) because the clutches are either burnt, or the seals that control the pressure are no longer sealing. It is also the weakest of all clutch asemblies in the transmission. You will need a transmission overhaul.
