I'm not a transmission expert but I think you could read faulty codes if you have or build the $10 codes tool. Instructions are posted in this forum. It could be an rpm signal to the ETC module or something like that.

do you reckon it could be the throttle linkage set in the wrong position like to tight or to loose

What all have you checked out so far?
-Fluid level and condition (color, smell, etc.)
-Checked to see if the vacuum modulator hose is on and in good condition. -checked the kick down switch, (at the gas pedal or near the linkage) Make a few checks and report back. I'm sure some folks will chime in when you have more data.

Please help guy's what? I never saw what the possesive form of the word "guy" was referring to. For that matter, what guy is this? And why isn't he asking himself? I'm confused, but maybe one of us just doesn't quite have a grasp on when apostrophes are to be used...

With words like "saloon" and "gearbox"

Won't upshift?

The kickdown switch may be stuck. Whether it's under the accelerator or in the linkage someplace is unknown to me. Find it and unplug it to see if this is the problem which is not unknown.

1. For you isolationists, saloon and gearbox are normal English car words. They just happen to be used in, well, England.
2. The shift points are controlled by the control pressure cable running from the throttle linkage to the transmission. This is the first place to check and adjust it to the correct freeplay. Since you said the car initially shifted OK, I am doubtful that this will be the cause, but make sure it works OK, is connected at both ends, and is set to the correct freeplay. 3. If it's still "bunking" (English, 2-year-old for "broken"), then you need to find a good transmission specialist.

With regard to the question that was asked...
There is a cable, the Bowden cable, connecting the throttle to the transmission. This cable tells the transmission when to shift based on throttle position. I don't know how it could have gotten out of adjustment that far all by itself, but who knows? There is also a vacuum modulator. Its mission is to tell the transmission how firmly to shift. It would not be a factor here.
