Overheating gearbox, what to do?!

So i brought a mk6 golf gti a couple of weeks ago & i took the car for a spin, after an hour of driving i pulled over and could smell something burning, i thought it was the tires so I carried on driving and was at a set of traffic lights, as soon i pressed the gas the car came up with the message of overheating gearbox stop now and the car was unable to move. I turned the engine off for 5 mins and turned it back on and the message disappeared & i drove back home slowly

does anyone have any idea on what i should do and how I should tackle this problem? I was thinking a DSG oil change even though it was done at 48k and now the car is on 67k, baring in mind the mileage may not be true?
