Transmission light, lights up after about 30 minutes non-stop driving.

Suggest you do not drive it until you have it checked out by an independent transmission shop.  
One thing you can do, **if** your transmission has a dipstick, you can check the fluid level.

Welcome to the forum…

+1, the more you drive it the more it might possibly cost to repair…

Have you at least pulled the codes in it??
