Check the level and condition of your tranny fluid. If low, top it off. If it's dark and smells burnt, get it flushed. The latter is not a good sign but you may get lucky.

definitely is most likely unrelated to the water pump problem.

Is it possible that the fluid was heated up in the radiator since there wasn't enough fluid circulating from the engine. Maybe it is possible for the fluid to get hot enough to cause the transmission to slip or something similar? Just a guess, may be way off.
