6 Speed Aisin Automatic Transmission

[speedman]

I hope there is a Aisin 6 speed automatic transmission guru here that can help me out with my 2005 MCS. The transmission shifted fro 3-4 and when it did the car went in a neutral situation with just motor revs. I pulled over and before I could get to the shoulder of the road the car flashed a EP code. I cleared the code and now the car will shift into 1,2,3, but when it goes into 4,5,6 it is only revs. When in auto mode it will shift into 4 on its own and when it is in SD mode it will shift into 4, but nothing but motor revs. in manual mode I can shift6 itdown to 6 and then back and when I get to 4 it acts like it is partially in gear but no movement. Is the valve body shot or is the whole transmission gone.
