At 227,000 miles, internal components like clutch packs or bands are likely worn. A recent fluid flush can sometimes dislodge debris or alter fluid friction, exacerbating existing internal wear.

WrenchConnect diagnosis problem signals
A failing input or output speed sensor can lose its signal when hot, causing the transmission computer to lose track of gear ratios and lock the vehicle into a single gear for safety.
The transmission's electronic control module or shift solenoids can fail when exposed to heat soak from extended idling, causing the vehicle to default to a single gear (limp mode).
Idling for long periods reduces airflow over the transmission cooler. The transmission fluid may have overheated, triggering protective codes and limp mode, even if the engine temperature remained normal.
