Let me know if this is what you have, I can talk you through my thoughts and what I did to fix it.

Thanks! Yes - sounds similar -- I don't recall whether the transmission warning light came on, but the transmission malfunction notification showed up on my nav screen (it said, transmission fault, drive moderately - some gears may not be available). Would love to hear what happened with yours and what steps you took to fix it. My independent mechanic didn't find any leaks (which he thought could cause a short on the transmission sensor). If it is mechatronics, I'm looking at a huge repair bill (ugh!). thanks!
