Check your NSS Neutral Safety Switch. It has connections inside to let the trans go into the gears, including controling the reverse lights. It is located on the passenger side of your Jeep on the side of the trans. Here is a website that will help with it. http://jeepin.com/features/nss/ You could also have a bad Tourque Converter. You might have a bad Solonoid at the trans that would control the turning on and off of the OverDrive. You might want to get an opinion at a trans shop before doing any else first. I hope this helps you.
