If you search the transaxle section you will find lots of info on this condition. The most likely cause is the range sensor on top of the tranny.

Adding to mercman's suggestion above, I wanted to ask you, "Does your O/D Light flash?".

If not, check your battery cables and the ground that connects the transaxle case to the fender well.

I had this same problem about 8 or so months ago, with no O/D light flashing, and come to find out it was a bad connection on the ground cable for the battery.

If your O/D light is flashing, then I would start looking at that range sensor like mercman suggested.
