Even if you were to guess right and fix it, you wouldn't know, it would still stay in limp mode (R & 2nd gear only) until it is reset/cleared with a compatible scanner.

Hoping I can drive it to the mechanics to have that done if she will let me. Waiting to get the dipstick that was ordered and to top the fluid off. I just want to get a baseline of how much fluid I am down. But dude99 made a good point about the metal in the pan. So I am not sure yet.
