it runs ok but after 4th gear and reaches 3500 - 3800 RPM it will not go any further , it's like loseing power and when i bring it back down to 3000 RPM it runs ok something like a safe mode , change optispark and TPS. just tested on N and it does the same thing.

Look into the exhaust being plugged or a drivability issue. This doesn't sound like a trans problem.
