Wow. A raritiy, especially after seven months. Better that than never. Thanks for posting the fix.

WeAreNotAlone - Another culprit could have been the Transaxle Range Sensor (TRS). It is the sending unit on the tranny that sends gear position to the indicator and other destinations via the TCM. A bad TCM can take the tranny with it but, generally a TCM change will fix many transmission problems. Make sure you get the same part number TCM at the junkyard. Yes, there's risks with junkyard parts but, they have fixed many vehicles too. What goes bad in a TCM? It's a solid state device full of IC chips and integrated circuits not normally repairable unless you have electronics training and can troubleshoot to the component level. An oscilloscope helps. Not impossible but, generally not done. What specifically fails? Call a repair facility.
