I had a similar problem with my 05 year transmission which turned out to be the conductor plate inside the gearbox sump.

Second that , classic signs 2nd and reverse only.
Before they go full limp as above they usually stick in a gear or don't change properly or generally act weird but restarting the vehicle cures it.

As a first step, get it scanned....ASAP. See what that tells you ( or the mechanic who scans it for you) then you will have an idea of the best course of action. It's the only way really.
