The cable is all froze up on the over drive, is there any way to get into overdrive or out of overdrive manually. I think it might be stuck in overdrive.
 
The cable is used to lock out the overdrive. The OD itself is engaged electrically by a solenoid.

When locked out, the OD is not part of the drive train and you can engine brake on deceleration like a normal standard transmission.

When the OD isn't locked out, the drive train will free wheel on deceleration. It will only go into OD when there is voltage to the solenoid.

I removed the cable system from my jeepster and installed a toggle switch under dash to power or unpower o/d .
