Probably best but I would not worry too much as hijacking and chaos reign supreme here. It is hard enough keeping people on topic.

It does the same if I want to overtake and give it some welly it hits 50 mph and won't change gear unless I lift off for a few seconds then back on again but it doesn't always happen it's ran for a few weeks now no problem after I changed ecu sensor like wammers suggested and all of a sudden it's playing up but it's like sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't it's had new ecu sensor fuel filter and changed boost pipe last night made no difference

It makes no difference if I try to change gear when it's doing it I had it on the nano com and no faults show

Shouldn't be around the 4000rpm mark at 50!! I would agree with wazzajnr.
Have look at your gearbox oil level recently? Any leaks around the g/box sump or cooler under your bumper?

Is it a case of the gbox ECU not recieving info from a speed sensor?

Where is the speed sensor
I think the abs ecu calculates speed from abs sensors then sends it to the BECM which in turn sends it to the gearbox ecu.
If you have nanocom, you should be able to see road speed in gearbox ecu I think.

Ok, the gearbox ECU, uses a collection of info from the vehicle's speed, engine speed and throttle position for example and decides what gear suit's..god help me! Have you had any problems with Speedo or rev counter? What wazzajnr said also.. any abs lights flickering?
