Gear box not working after engine oil overfill - HELP!!

Hi!

I have managed to overfill my car with engine oil resulting in that the gearbox does not change gear any more. The car is a Mercedes C320 2001. I have managed to remove approx 2 litre from the car and the dyn mode says it still contains 8.9 litres. After oil change the went well for 8 kmthen i got error message reduce oil. The gearbox then started to behave strange not changing gear and staying in either gear 1 or reverse. Now i cant get any gear in to motion at all. Engine sounds great. I can move gear lever up and down but no result.

Any ideas?

Kind regards
Patrik

Oil in engine harness? Definitely limp mode.

It would be a good idea to see whether there are any codes thrown.
