i am taking a shot in the dark here, so please don't hold me to this...

it sounds like you ran low on fluid and did one or more of the following:

1. burned up the sensor
2. damaged the input shaft
3. put the transmission into limp mode (something that would need to be cleared with a code reader)

most likely the gearbox is in limp mode. The loss of fluid caused the box to slip which was detected and it will go into limp. clear the codes and you should be fine.

Going out on a limb with a guess... radiator fluid (glycol) in your tranny... I hope you have a warranty.. Good luck

How long before you noticed the line off and how much fluid did you have to replace?

Have you rechecked the fluid level since you first added the 3 quarts? It is possible that it was lower than 3 quarts and when you started the car and cycled the gear selector thru the gears it could have pumped the fluid thru the lines and valve body and now it will register low on the dipstick.
