Default Do I Need A New Overdrive or Transmission?

My 1994 Cadillac Seville SLS won't shift into it's final gear. It almost sounds as if it "red-lines" (the sound you hear when you don't shift in a manual transmission). Could this be the overdrive or is it the transmission?

Check the fluid level and condition first. Fluid should be a redish pinkish colour and not burnt smelling. If it looks Ok and it is low top it up and see how it runs after that.
