Thanks, I tried starting in neutral, but nothing changed. The error code references the transmission control module directly. Do you think it may need a full transmission repair?

Ah, a direct error code is more specific than what I had. If it's pointing directly at the control module, best get it checked out by a professional. I ended up needing a new transmission speed sensor. Cost me a small fortune but fixed it. If it's the control unit, you're probably looking at a hefty repair bill.

I appreciate your insights. I've booked an appointment with a certified repair workshop to assess the control unit. The estimated repair cost is 1000€. Thanks!

Sounds frustrating! I had a similar problem with my old BMW. It wouldn't start sometimes, and the gearbox felt clunky. Have you checked the neutral position? Sometimes the gear shifter isn't making good contact. Is the error code related to the transmission specifically?
