95 Saturn SL2 transaxle codes 22, 23, 24 - slips when warm until turn off & restart

With my 95 Saturn SL2 (about 150,000 miles), I am finding that after the car has warmed up, it sometimes/regularly slips or won't upshift to one or more higher gears. If I stop, turn the car off even for a moment and restart, it is immediately fine again, at least temporarily. From this I am guessing that I am dealing with something other than a mechanical problem, perhaps a sensor or connection or computer control. Since the 95 is pre-OBDII, I was able to check the Diagnostic Trouble Codes manually. I show only these codes (transaxle, not engine):

22 (no 2nd gear) 23 (no 3rd gear) 24 (no 4th gear)

Anyone recognize this set of symptoms?

I had the same problem with my 95 SL2--but it started at about 100K. Happened intermittently and I would get a no 3rd/no 4th. Then it would be fine for weeks or months. Most folks here would say its probably a valve body problem.
