Did you search? If you do, you'll find about 100 posts suggesting that you pull and post codes and check trans fluid.

If you get on top of it now, you might be able to save it with a simple fluid change. Has worked for some as other threads show, even worked on a Boxster S on "Wheeler Dealers".

However, your first move should be driving to a local quality independent shop to have codes pulled, if you don't have software to pull codes yourself. However, if your's is already in limp mode, the odds are not likely in your favor.

My tranny started shifting between gears kind of hard, was going to take it to have fluid changed, and it grenaded before I had the opportunity.

Good luck.
