Trouble shifting
I'm not sure if I'm just being a noob at driving, or if this is legitimately a problem.
My car has been able to do 0-60 runs by holding the petal to the floor, however the transmission switch (PNP i think) went bad. It was replaced incorrectly the first time and was replaced a second time which then seemed to function fine. A few days ago I was speeding up to go onto the freeway and it got stuck in gear, I released the petal, it shifted, and I kept accelerating. After the freeway when I accelerated, around 40 the car jolted and the check engine light came on, I checked the codes and they were codes (5-3-2 and 4-4-5 from terminal A2 which I read was the transmission) After resetting the codes the check engine light went off.
I've been much more cautious driving it but decided I should probably find out what is wrong, so I found a secluded street and filmed 0- where ever it got before I had to stop. Below is the video, it accelerates nicely until about 20 miles per hour and then seems to get stuck shifting to second gear, although I could be wrong.

As you can see the car gets stuck at about 4000 RPMS and then the check engine light comes on, the car was warmed up before the run.
I may also note that the turbo's "hissing" seems to be much louder and more of a blowing sound.
The car is a 1995 850 turbo, and the run was done in sport mode.
