Looking down at the transmission from the top, there is a large plug, usually round. Unplug it a drive it again and see if the problem is gone. If so, you have a TCC solenoid sticking and it's sticking in overdrive.

Who told you that?
That disconnects the TCC solenoid and takes away overdrive because that's what it was doing. It was getting stuck in overdrive and not releasing. That was just a test and it needs to be fixed properly or you will have transmission problems in the future.
