So I jumped to conclusions earlier today and assumed the overdrive solenoid crapped out. Thankfully, I was wrong
The contact points inside the governor just needed to be cleaned up with some sandpaper. Overdrive is working great again, and I didn't have to spend any money to fix it. I see this as an absolute win!
I still need to figure out how to keep the solenoid seal from leaking though
