My guess would be the transmission switch. This is located at the side of the box and is easily gunked up with oil, grease, mud, etc.

The actual shifting is a combination of solenoids, vac & fluid pressure. But gear selection is a function of this switch.

During your work, it could have been disturbed accidentally, or it may just be a coincidence, but I'm betting that's your problem.

Cheers!
