Did the HDC or ABS warning light come on as well? If so, try a new brake light switch first. About $30 and easy to replace.
The HP26 transmission is used in many vehicles and has good reliability. But if do need a new one, I noticed that Atlantic British sells remanufactured ones, which may be a good idea on a vehicle that is already 9 years-old with 135K miles.

@neal, ever change the tranny fluid? Or are all 135k miles on the original juice?
Also, does it drive any differently?

There is a garage in Dallas that has a used one for sale, that would be your cheapest option. I've got a brand new in the LR crate one. They are expensive.
Dropped a line to my transmission guy to see what he thinks.

has trouble downshifting to accelerate, and /or down hill then uphill gear change. Will then skip a gear down and stay in that gear, transmission fault alert and amber light on. Stop, turn off engine and restart clears the system temporarily. Will get around town driving gingerly, but avoid quick accelerations.
The fix can be simple and cheap.
I would take PaulLR3's suggestion and first change the brake light switch. The odds are the problem is bigger than that, but the fact that a restart clears matters for a bit suggests a software glitch, not a tear down.
The link below has additional detail, and yes, the brake lights will be working OK even if the switch is defective; also did you change any rear tail light light bulbs recently or install non genuine?
Are all the bulbs working back there? Yes, it can be that simple.

What does "has trouble" mean exactly? Not trying to be a pain; just curious...

Ugh. Sounds like more than the brake pedal switch to me. I hope you can get a reasonable resolution. Please report back.
