Is this normal

My 95 with 302 has a little trouble on the interstates. I try and use the cruze control but most of the time it has a hard time getting into overdrive. sometimes i have to speed up and let it settle back down to the speed to get it in OD. I have 175K on this thing, should i just say that it is old or is it normal for a 302?
