Answer
The only way to tell is your problem is electronic or mechanical will be to find a dealer or a shop with an Autologic or Rovacomm test system to interrogate the transmission computer.

You can check for burnt fluid, a sign of gearbox failure, and you can remove the pan and check for chunks but the electronic tester is really necessary for proper diagnosis.
