Default Overdrive question?

i Have a 93 honda civic EX (195k). I noticed that when i first start driving the car it doesnt go into the overdrive (1,2,3,4, then overdrive) very well. Seems like i have to get going about 65 for it to slide into it. But i noticed that after about 5-10 minutes it kinda goes in a little sooner? Maybe like 55 or 60. Anyways do any of your cars go directly into overdrive? and/or does it slide into it even if your only going like 40 wtih no acceleration?


is the tranny on the way out?
