Unhappy Disco 2 Auto box no gears

I Have a Disco 2 and a strainge thing happened. I was exel to 110klm and kept a constant speed, when I reached town, I slow down to 60 and when I want to keep it at that speed there were no gears. There were no noise or oil under the vehicle. was wondering if someone have had the same problem.

Start by checking the transmission fluid level.

the drives shafts didn't turn. I've even check the flex plate behind the torq converter. Donwant to strip out the gbox if it's maybe an electrical problem.

Well the transmission ECU is under the left front seat, pick up a used one and swap it out and see what happens.
I am assuming that your battery and alternator test good.
Low battery voltage will put the transmission computer into "limp" mode, which means 3rd gear only and the "M" and "S" lights will both be on.
The truck will be drivable, but it will take a lot of throttle to get it moving and it will not shift gears.
