When I plant my foot to the floor in 4th and 5th gear the revs start moving up the scale and then there is a bump and the car don't wanna go no-more. Its like I am taking my foot off the accelerator and the dump valve chirps each time. Is this the start of gearbox failure?

Dont think it's your gearbox, sounds a bit like the ecu overboost kicking in and cutting fuel. Try searching for "overboost" threads to compare with your symptoms.
