help 2004 s600 Trans Code p0730

I am getting a P0730 Code on my OBD-II Scanner and the car acts like its in limp mode. No forward or reverse gears most of the time and sometimes if I restart it it will work shortly.... Any suggestions?

Thanks!

P0730 Is gear ratio error, Ratios are calculated from reading N2 input shaft and N3 output shaft, located on conductor plate on the valve body. Wrong tire size, diffrent transmission and rear rations will cause Gear ratio error codes, have you changed any of these parts; more often then not it’s a defective conductor is the Cause. Any other codes, like wheel speed sensors, were ALL modules scanned

With a capable scanner you can verify speed sensor readings.

As said above, most likely the conductor plate. It sits on top of the valve body, probably something you should take to a dealer unless you're very capable working on cars.
