If you shut it off and let it cool down, it will once again shift through all gears only to start revving again (in any gear) after 5 or so minutes of driving. Do I need a total rebuild? No tranny codes.

Michael when you lose all drive, do you lose 1st and reverse selected with the shifter?
If you do, it is most probably a lack of line pressure, that could be caused by:
1. A blocked oil pick-up screen in the pan.
2. A loss of pressure at the pump, due to a leak at the pump gasket.

The "smoke from the front part of the tranny". I
can't see this as being coming from the transmission itself, it is most likely to be coming from a leak at the cooler pipes that run from the front of the case. You have checked the ATF level in the box, I guess?
