Default 05 auto xmission issue

After well warmed up, 4th gear slips as if the TC isn’t locked up. Solid when cold but acts like a CV tranny when hot, RPMs increase more than normal when accelerating.
What’s happening?

1st off I'm not an expert but My 05 A4 had smoked 3-4 bands, this is a weak spot on these transmissions. It is usually caused by hi atf temps

Being told locally, 3-4 clutch. In any event, it needs surgery.
