Transmission warning after changing battery

I knew my battery was getting towards the end of its life, but it sort of left my mind working from home now. It was completely dead today so I switched it out and immediately got a transmission warning. Little wrench light and the CEL. I drove it around the neighborhood and it seemed ok, maybe a little "off."

Googling around I found some directions about resetting the transmission with a switching between N and P. I did get a message that said "transmission ready" however, I also got the transmission warning right after that. But, my CEL went away and the wrench remains. Drove it again and it was mostly fine, but a little off. I could feel it shudder/skip a bit when I'd brake.

I see this battery/transmission issue is a thing, but not quite sure how to handle it from here. Any ideas?
