Was there any symptom the transmission may be developing problem prior
to this? If not AND the car is equipped with kick-down switch (check
under the gas pedal), the switch may be shorted/stuck.

I would have the tranny serviced by MB tranny specialist only.... not AAMCO,

main pump failure. Only diagnostic pressure test can tell.
