Have changed solenoids A and B.
Have checked specific gear change solenoids and have changed there location too. check still no change from third to fourth not working.
When car try’s to change from third to fourth car revs out kicks back to third and then won’t try to change up to fourth after that until I turn off car then it will try to do change but revs out and changes back to third.

Good morning,

Is the check engine light on? If it is, what are the codes?

This sounds like the clutches are worn out and it is slipping out of gear. It sounds like the solenoids are working but the flare up tells me your issue is internal with worn clutches.
