Question Transmission Problem or Electrical problem?

I drove 3 miles down the road when my transmission lost power is the best way I can describe it. While everything on the dash was fine and indicated D for Drive, the car was in neutral and the throttle only revved the engine. I had to restart the car to get the transmission to work again but it failed a hundred feet later; reverse didn't work either. There were no warning lights or anything from when I had power going to my wheels to not having power which makes me worry a little bit more. In terms of the transmission, there were no leaks from what I saw, fluids were good, and the engine ran smoothly. I'm leaning more toward an electrical issue as there were no warning lights even though something is wrong; maybe something wrong with the TCU/GCU or other electricals. I'm happy to hear any opinions or suggest potential root causes, thank you.

After some digging through this forum, most posts related to transmission involved the shift being stuck in reverse or neutral but can't park; this is a completely different issue. If there is a thread that can point me in the right direction that'd be a big help. Hopefully nothing too serious.

I drive a Standard 2004 Crossfire with an automatic transmission if that matters. Thanks again.
