Take it to get it clean it will be cheaper and if it works you save a lot of money. Also it could be a sensor going bad, remember your warranty is probably expired so the dealer is going to do whatever it takes to get you into replace parts that you don't have to.
BTW no way that this is tranny. The car was in idle when it started to do it.
