Try This..
Gemsbeme,
I hope you are planing on the car your self because it will be expensive to repair! Next I hope this is your second car!
The indie is charging you a fortune to fix the conductor plate fix. Out here they do it for about half the amount. Find another indie.
I think you need to run a ohm test on the two sensors, and the shift solenoids-See page14 in the part B PDF document.
You could have a stuck solenoid. A plugged screen filter for each solenoid, stuck valvebody piston, or broken spring-This is my guess.
Before doing anything. You fluid must be up to the level(buy 722.6 test dipstick-eBay or the dealer) I hope the fluid and filter are recent too. All guessing goes out the door if you find oil on the Electronic Transmission(ETC) Computer. Oil on the ETC will do all kind of weird things, but normally the car goes from working fine to limp mode, but really their is not symptom pattern. The ETC computer is in the engine bay(see page3 of part B).It is the black 1" thick module with two connectors. The module does not reference anything about it being the ETC, but you will recognize the connectors-Page 21 of partB.
If you find oil on the connector(you say oil???), oil wicks-up the control cable to the ETC. The ETC shorts out, but not damage it in most cases, but the Repair shops want to charge you for a new one, yet all you have to do is snap-open the ETC from the case, and clean it with Electronic Contact Cleaner(with no lubricant!!) Let it dry for about four hours, or overnight... Clean connector the connector too. The oil made it to the ETC from the connector on the outside of the transmission(the o-ring failed). Buy only dealer connector-no aftermarket, or used ones...
Hope this give you some guidance-This is what I would do..
Martin
