What is your question?
Instances where the transmission has to change years often, I get a warning on the dash saying my transmission has malfunctioned and has limited functionality but the vehicle is safe to drive. Most times the RPM's race up to about 4500-5000 and it feels like the top 2 fears are locked out.

You will need to have a system scan done to determine what codes are being generated to cause the transmission to enter limp home mode. Continuing to drive in limp mode will cause stress on the gear that is engaged , generally 3rd or 4th gear depending on which transmission you have. I had an A6 come in with a similar situation. The trans went into limp when climbing hills and had a code for a camshaft position sensor. The Audi dealership told him that he needed $8000 worth of work to correct the issue. After hours of diagnosis I found a poor connection at the engine computer. Problem solved and over $7000 saved. The computers are so interconnected that you need the full picture to determine the source of the problem.
First of all thanks for your response. You gave me hope that I could afford to have this fixed. Unfortunately, I take my car to an experienced recommended shop. The diagnostic is done and they find a TSB code P2702. Which translated to a new transmission costing $7300. I showed then your reply and determined that the issues causing the limp mode are different. Do you have any alternative advice based on this code?
