Your issue is with the PO121 and the MAF! And I would stop flooring the car and letting it do that until the issue is corrected , The MAF and the TPS issue can and will kill your trans, The PCM is getting the wrong information from them which is critical and telling the trans to do the wrong things at the wrong time, Again you can and will damage the trans its even possible if you done this many times you could have already done damage.
In fact I wouldn't even drive the car if at all possible till its corrected you need to goto a tuning shop asap.

Did you have your computer retuned for the gear change? With the codes you have and if you did not have the computer recalibrated, that can totally be the issue with the way your trans is shifting. Get it corrected ASAP.

They need to set the tune for the gears then address the PO 120 and 121 which is the source of the issue, The PCM relys heavily on these two inputs to operate the trans and other things properly
