Try giving the MAF a clean. A dirty MAF has been known to affect overdrive

It's best to use carburettor cleaner
...you don't need compressed air either, the carb cleaner will evaporate after it's cleaned the tiny wires

Is your speedo working OK?
A faulty Speed sender can cause this

possibly, or a wiring loom problem, can you get it OBD scanned?
Failing that it might be worth changing the gearbox oil and filter
