Thanks for the info and fault hints. I`ve checked transmission plug, it was in a wery fine condition. The gearbox won`t shift gear before it have almost max rev. Let go of the trottlle pedal and it shift gears all way up, but moving the pedal just a bit down an it gear down almost as far as it goes when the switch is in E position an as far as it can when in S position. Whith switch in E it gos down to first gear when speed is under 70 km/h even with almost no use of the pedal. I have also checked the trottle pot and that was within the spesifications. Have checked the kickdown switch under gas pedal, ok. And the idling switch is ok. Could it still be a clogged valve body? I asumed it wouldnt gear at all if that was the problem, but could it make it go crazy like this?
