My Ride: 2008 bmw 550i sport

I have a 550i with 6HP26. The transmission fault 4F89 sometimes 4F83. The sometimes symptom are:
When using normal D shift: when it at 40-50km/hour, the engine is at about 1200rpm and when try to speed up, the transmission is trying to kick down the shift and the fault generated at that time.
When I drive at DS or Sport mode, this symptom has less chance to happen. There is not fault generated in the above situation but, when it has a long uphill, the transmission seems lazy to click down the shift. Sometimes even when I change to manual shift mode, it does change gear when to shift down.
My question: I want to buy rebuilt Valve Body and all the necessary sleeve and seals to replace. Would it solve my problem? Is there anyway to determine if other part of the transmission is still healthy?
Thanks you so much
