Trans hard shifting

Today after about a 2 hour mostly highway drive, I made a stop and went back out after my next stop 10 minutes later I put in drive and started to go and it took longer than normal to shift from 1st to 2nd. All other shifts were normal.
NO code yet. Then I pulled over confused 🤔. I went from park to drive and a clunk, started to move and long 1st to 2nd shift. So it did that a few more times after stops at lights and stuff. After a shut down and restart I got the CEL and the shift from park to drive was back to normal and the long winding 1-2 shift is back to normal. So the car is like it always has been but the light is on and have to get it checked tomorrow, cause I am a way from home so no tools.
Look on a bunch of threads, I'm thinking it could be the solenoids in the trans or bad wires, the thing that I'm not getting is it doesn't seem to have an issue anymore but I'm sure that's not the case.
So is it safe to drive? It has about 120 k on it, I change the fluid and filtering in the trans in February. I am about 2 hours from home right now.
Any more ideas what it can be besides the solenoid or wiring?
Thanks Scott.

Is there an auto parts store nearby? They can probably check the codes for you.

Need to get the codes but it should be ok to drive if it isn't slipping.
The parts stores will not read tranny codes.

Codes that came up

P0700 P752 P2271
this morning went out, the shifting seemed fine the CEL was off. Got on the highway wasn't going into 4th/OD. 60mph 3000rpm. Then after about 20 or so miles slowed down for construction after that back up to 60 rpms @ 2400. So it went in to 4th.
So I'm guessing it's something electrical whether it be wiring issue or solenoid inside the trans. But let me hear your best guesses on what the issue is. It got three codes but I know sometimes one code will set off others so thanks for the help

P0752 is a stuck shift solenoid A.
P2271 is a "stuck rich" #2 O2 sensor.

Check the wiring at the o2 sensors.

That can cause the shifting issues?

It could possibly but not likely. Engine problems can cause transmission problems.
I would think the wiring to the solenoids would be worth investigating.
