Default Q5 gearbox multinfunction problem !

I got the following message in my Audi Q5 3.0 TDI: "Gearbox malfunction you can drive with limited functionality". When the message comes up the vehicle slows to about 1km, it virtually crawls and no matter how much you accelerate nothing happens.. Then it eventually starts and you move off only to get the beep again and the slowing down.
What's going on? What I sgould do with this problem ?

Other posts here and elsewhere indicate an overheated transmission, though in other cases the vehicle remained drivable. I'm no mechanic but perhaps you should stop trying to accelerate when this message shows up.
