my overdrive is wacky ..please help! Long.. 700 1989

Ok.. I'm going a little crazy trying to figure out what the H$&L is going on....Well the car is disengaging from overdrive pretty harshly...It started on a relatively long road trip of 300 miles where there was no problem but on the way back it started out of nowhere....anyways , the tranny shifts fine when going up in shifts but when I get past 55-60 MPH and just let go of the gas, the thing disengages hard from overdrive , on its own, when the RPM reach about 2000...When it disengages, the arrow indicator does not go on or anything (actually the overdrive solenoid works perfectly and easily); it makes the RPM then jump up to about 3500 and slowly come down...I did have a faulty relay which was changed with a new one......I have adjusted and readjusted the downshift cable, still no change....I have changed the tranny fluid (it did need it) but still no change.......I am going to need an O2 sensor (ordered) because mine is shot and its making the engine run a bit rich but what the heck; all this came out of the blue...
Is there something I overlooked or need to look at? Has anyone else had this problem? PLEASE respond.thanks in advance.... :-0
