Mine quite often doesn't go as near to the red line as I'd like, when using kickdown/sport....

If it's limiting at 4.5k under any circumstances I would say it'd be worth reading the engine codes in case there's a cam sensor / knock sensor issue putting it into limp mode.

the car needs a crankshaft sensor, which is being sorted. would that have anything to do with it?

Yes, that can confuse the gearbox since it also relies on the RPM signal from the engine ECU. Get that sorted and see where it leaves you. :y
