Overdrive help

Hello Gentlemen, it's been a while. I was able to drive my car yesterday for the first time in about three years, after rebuilding the carb and brake master cylinder...
I'm having an issue with my R11's overdrive engagement. When I reach the appropriate speed and let off the gas, I can hear and feel the car kick into OD - except it won't maintain speed once it's shifted. The car will slow down until I give it enough gas to kick down. Does this sound like an electrical or mechanical issue? Any tips where to start troubleshooting? I've looked through the BW OD manual and I'm not sure my symptoms are covered, although I may be misunderstanding the terminology.

Thanks!
