wierd OD tricks 120-130

Hello all I am having a problem with my od. When cold all is well, when hot it stays in od sometimes(not consistant). It will stay in od but if I accelerate hard it will bounce back down to normal at around 4000 rpm in first gear. When I shift to second it does the same od-non od jump at 4000 rpm. The oil level is fine and I am using 30wt oil. Any sugestions will be greatly appreciated. Also how can I wire the od to work in all forward gears but will automatically go out if put into reverse(the reasonfor this is that I enjoy giving civic's and Golf's a run for their money at stop lights, and shifting from 1 to 1 1/2 then to second would improve my times and frowns on the other lanes faces). Third question where are your od switches(dash, coloumn, shifter) and do you have pic's?

Merci
