In and out of OVERDRIVE on a '93

My '93 4-cyl LX has been quickly going in and out of overdrive (D4) at hwy speed. Is there a sensor to replace or something that needs to get cleaned out?

I say "overdrive" it might be the lockup torque converter....

Maybe adjustment of the downshift cable, from throttlebody down to tranny?

I just spoke to a Hon Mech and he said the O2 sensor might be leaning out the mix. Lean surge?

Mine had the same issue. turned out it was a combination of the transmission fluid and the temperature sensor going bad. I did the customary fill-drain 3 timer and replaced the sensor and now it stays in overdrive.
