So now I have 1st, 3rd and 4th + TQ lockup, but back to the issue of holding 1st til at least 40-50 Km/h. Doesn't drop down either unless under 60 and it slams into 1st.

Sigh.
Have you checked the simple things like linkage adjustment? When mine caked with clay/mud in central it would stick in first. Jumping out at 50km/h or so sounds like its in 1-2 Gear.
