EDIT: It is possible that they did not get the linkage seated correctly when they reassembled the transmission, but if you have been able to drive it for any distance, that is unlikely.. and it most likely wouldn't have anything to do with it jumping in to Sport mode - though that plug may.

Yeah I drove it for about 2 days before these issues started cropping up, so I can rule out the linkages. I’m taking it back to the shop tomorrow, I’ll make sure I tell them to check that plug. Is there any other suggestions you might have?
