200r4 code OZ (from 85 olds 442 with B&M shift kit)

I never had any problems with it when i had a V8 in front of it.
First day i put a turbo 3.8 i started having problems....
It shifts smooth and correctly, just a dream when driven softly.
But, when i start going harder, only SOMETIMES, it will get stuck in
FIRST GEAR!?!

When i shut off the car and restart it fixes it untill i start driving it hard again.

Is it possible that TV cable might get stuck/caught on something inside trans?
Maybe on a dipstick?

Hmmmmm....it's weird.

P.S. There is a bit of funny noise or squeking from trans at idle.

Sounds like the TV pressure is pegged ... does it eventually shift (at around 5000 RPM?)?

Might be the TV slide valve is gummed up or sticking?

No, once it's stuck, it's stuck till i shut it off.
Is there a map of 200r4 internals?
I might have to find that TV slide valve and check it out...

There's an annotated valve body exploded view and some of the major internals exploded view.
