Default AU on Highway auto gearbox troubles

AU sedan 99 Ser1...4 speed Auto

last few days after changing set of sparks plugs (not that plugs should have anything to do with this problem) but especialy when driving over 80km/hr in Drive in 4th gear it keeps kicking back into 3rd gear within a few mins (Even at 110km/hr...The only way to get it to go back into 4th gear again is to put it into manual 3rd gear???? If i leave it in 3rd gear it will stay in 4th gear the whole time and wont pop out??? but after putting it back into drive from manual 3rd gear at about 100 km hr within a few mins it kicks back again into 3rd without putting pressure on the excelerater...sometimes in drive it just wont even reach 4th gear and just stays in 3rd the whole time....It almost appears to be a wire problem?? is there some sensor box etc??? any advice to point me in the right direction would be nice thanks...(We cant loosen the bolt to check the fluid level either) but the gears are not slipping as such, just changing at odd times?? STRANGE???Thankyou
