transmission issue - wont go past 2nd gear

I've had this happen to me twice. Driving down the street, mat the gas pedal and the transmission goes into some kind of limp mode. Wont go past 2nd gear and a 'gear' warning like similar to the 'settings' icon on cell phones pops up.

I stop the car, start again and it's good to go again.

Anyone have same experience?

I've recently swapped out the pump due to broken tooth on the torque tube. And replaced trans oil pan with new gasket and fluid top up. The procedure well document on youtube. Empty fluid, drop pan part way, let most of the juice out, then pull pan off, replace with new gasket, reinstall, retorque. Top up fluid with car off, start up and get warm and then top up until juice comes out of drain hole again. Done this a couple time now. On level ground..

Using amzoil dexron vi, had to mix in a little castrol transmax dex vi...
