A problem that started with my heat shield

I hope that someone can help me! I have a 2004 Honda Odyssey minivan. A few days ago, as I was backing up, I heard a scraping and looked underneath to see a piece of metal scraping the ground. I called AAA for a tow and the AAA guy said that it was the heat shield on the catalytic converter and that he would remove it for me right there. He lifted the front of my van with his truck and removed the shield, then left. Afterward, when I got in to drive my van, the D on the panel was blinking and it wouldn't go forward in drive, only first gear. It would also go in reverse. I drove it in first to a shop, where he did a diagnostic and code DTC P0748 came up, a clutch pressure control valve. He said it was a transmission problem and he couldn't fix it. I had it towed to the dealership and they say that I need a new alternator! There were no problems with the battery before the heat shield incident. I don't know who to believe but it can't just be a coincidence that my car won't run after the shield came off, can it? Could the scraping have hurt the transmission?

Guess: If somehow that heat shied dropped off and still on at one end it might have messed up stuffswinging and possibly messing with wires pertinant to assorted possible symptoms. I would thing some evidence would be seen?
