Default 4L70E No forward or reverse gears

I was driving down the highway in my tbss, awd, built 4l70e, in 4th gear, converter locked and temp at 138. I went to accelerate and nothing. I tried knocking it down to 3,2,1 nothing. Tried reverse and nothing. In all those gears the truck freely rolls. In park it stays locked. I didnt hear any noise to make me think that something broke. Before I pull the trans do you guys have any thoughts on what happened?

Broken input shaft or failed pump would be my guess , Where did you get it built ?

I had a local Grand National racer build it up. It has a 300mm steel reinforced input housing and heat treated input shaft. I figured that would withstand some regular driving. How would a fail pumped cause these symtoms. i only ask becasue I don't know. Would a failing pump cause lookup issues with the converter? I had the converter stick in lockup upon startup but as soon as I realized this I disconnected the tcm and the neg bat cable and its been fine since.

That would suck. That pump is brand new with less than 1000k on it becasue I had a converter go and take out the pump with metal shavings. Is there any ways to check and get some ideas before we tear into it? Maybe its something electrical?
