Question e4od overdrive not workin from start position

i have a 1990 250 460 4x4. i seemed to lost my overdrive gear. when I put it in drive i can rev up the engine and will only move about 2". but if i turn od off i can drive fine. when i get up to 35-50 mph i can usually turn overdrive back on and will automatically engage or it will rev up to about 3500 rpms then engage untill i come to a complete stop then i am back and no overdrive again. had at two tran shops to look at they both want to rebuild it. but they both say for different reason. AAmco says I lost my od gear or planet. freeway trans thinks it might just be seals and my fluid is blackish and smels burnt.

Think I should change the fluid first and see if that is the problem?

Sounds lik ean internal problem. You ca try changing the fluid, it will either help it or could cause it to go all of the way out.
