'04 e250 transmission issues

I own a 2004 Ford E250 work van. The other day we were driving on the way to work and all of a sudden, lost 3rd and 4th gear. Limped to a buddies driveway and lost reverse, I know the van has 170,000 on her. And she's used fairly hard throughout her life...still no fluid leaking... No pre warning signs of any kind....drove around all day the day before with not a single issue...any ideas? Anything above 30mph it just free spins....Thanks for any help.

'04- 5.4 triton Motor
4r75w 4 Speed Transmission

The direct clutch has failed. The transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
